New Functionality: Two useful mouse techniques for your spreadsheets!

New Functionality: Two useful mouse techniques for your spreadsheets!

We have added a couple of new features in Zoho Sheet this week.

Drag and drop cells:

We have now made it possible to do cut-n-paste actions using your mouse. 
To move a cell or contiguous range of cells, select it and position your mouse over the selection outline. The mouse cursor will change to "move" pointer . Now drag the selection by holding down the mouse button. Once you reach the target cell, release the button in order to paste the content.

Similarly, to copy a cell or range, hold down the CTRL key either before you start or as you drag the selection.

At any point of time while dragging, if you need to cancel the operation, just press the ESC key. 




Cell references to other worksheets in the same workbook:

We already support referring cells from other worksheets within the same workbook using the syntax 

SheetName!CellAddress  (e.g., Sheet2!A5 ). But in cases where a formula has to refer to cell ranges from across various worksheets, it becomes really tedious to type the entire formula in one go.

Now, you can directly open the corresponding worksheet by clicking on its tab present at the bottom and select the cell(s) while typing the formula. Once you select a cell or range of cells on a different worksheet, you can press the ENTER key to submit the formula or type an operator and continue the formula.




Apart from the above functionality, there are some enhancements and bug fixes as well. Refer our What's New page for more details.
