You can even use the undo, and then paste if you accidentally paste it in the wrong cell.
Clipboard
Like all the Microsoft Office applications you can cut (or copy) cells from one location to another.
The easiest way to cut, copy and paste values is to use the Office clipboard. This is just a temporary storage area.
All the Microsoft Office applications share the Office clipboard which makes it very easy to cut and paste between applications.
When you cut (or copy) data you are just placing it on the clipboard.
You can cut, copy and paste data between different worksheets and workbooks using the clipboard.
Every time you cut or copy an item a short representation of that item appears on the Office clipboard.
You can display the Office clipboard at any time by pressing (Ctrl + C) twice with the same cells selected.
The clipboard task pane allows you to cut or copy two or more different ranges and then paste them back possibly in a different order.
