Paste Values in Excel is an essential feature that enables you to copy then paste unchanging, static values derived from calculations into other cells or cell ranges. Typically, when you copy data in Excel, it includes not just the values but also the formatting and associated calculations. While this is necessary in many cases, there are instances where you specifically need to copy and paste values without the underlying calculations. This is where Paste Values comes into play.

You can find Paste Values as an option on the Paste button, but it can now also be activated using a keyboard shortcut:

Ctrl + Shift + V

Paste Values is an invaluable function within Excel, ensuring that the transferred data remains constant and unaltered, unaffected by changes in the source data.
