There are lots of ways of copying a cell in Excel. First, make sure the cell or cells have been selected. Then any of the following key combinations can work for copying.

Ctrl - C

Alt - E - C

Depending on where you are copying to, there are other options, like filling down using Ctrl - D or filling right using Ctrl - R. Ctrl - ' will copy from the cell above. The shortcut key and copy from the menu is another, as is clicking the Copy icon.

Once you've done a copy in any of these or other ways, like various ways with the mouse, there are also lots of ways to Paste, corresponding to the way you copy. Some of these include:

Ctr - V

Alt - E - P

Shift - Insert

Using the Paste icon or option from the shortcut menu.
