Abstract
A system and method for copying and pasting cells in a multi-dimensional spreadsheet. The method is implemented by execution of program code by a processor of a computer system. A source range of cells is copied and pasted in a multi-dimensional spreadsheet onto a destination range of cells in the spreadsheet by performance of a comprehensive paste of the source range of cells onto the destination range of cells. A graphical object in the source range of cells has an associated fastened range of cells, and an associated working range of cells identified by a first relative offset. The copying and pasting results in: the graphical object being within the destination range of cells; and the fastened range of cells and the working range of cells being respectively pasted into an associated fastened range of cells and an associated working range of cells in the destination range of cells.
