165+ The data grid has copy-and-paste capabilities similar to a spreadsheet. You can
166+ select:
167+
168+ * A single cell
169+ * A rectangular range of cells
170+ * One or more entire rows
171+ * One or more entire columns
172+
173+ To copy a single value, click on the cell of interest and either press
174+ ** Ctrl-C** (on Windows and Linux) or ** Cmd-C** (on macOS). You can also copy
175+ using the right-click context menu:
176+
177+ ![ Data Grid Cell Context Menu] ( images/data-explorer-copy-cell-context-menu.png ) {width=300}
178+
179+ To copy a rectangular range of cells, first click on a cell, then hold the
180+ ** Shift** key and click on another cell to select the range of interest. Then
181+ either press ** Ctrl-C** /** Cmd-C** or use the context menu to copy:
182+
183+ ![ Copying a Rectangular Range of Cells] ( images/data-explorer-copy-rectangular-range.png ) {width=500}
184+
185+ When you copy a rectangular range of cells, the values are copied along with the
186+ column names in tab-separated format to ease pasting into Excel or Google
187+ Sheets.
188+
189+ To copy whole rows or columns, click on the first row label or column label then
190+ either hold ** Shift** and click on another row or column label to select a
191+ range, or use ** Ctrl-C** /** Cmd-C** to select individual rows or columns, but not
192+ necessarily a range:
193+
194+ ![ Copying Multiple Data Rows] ( images/data-explorer-copy-whole-rows.png ) {width=500}
195+
196+ ![ Copying Multiple Data Columns] ( images/data-explorer-copy-whole-columns.png ) {width=500}
197+
198+ Like copying a rectangular range of cells, copying an entire row or column will
199+ include the column names in the tab-separated output.
