If you are referring to Paste Special, it gives you a wider range of options of how to paste after doing a copy. For example, you can paste just the values, rather than formulas. You can paste formatting only. You can transpose the data, switching it from columns to rows, or rows to columns. You can do calculations, by pasting a number onto other cells and then doing a divide, multiply and or subtract. So there are lots of "special" things you can do instead of an ordinary paste.

In the Format options, Special refers to being able to apply particular styles of formatting, such as for zip codes.

What does equal plus mean in excel?

The combined sign has no special meaning. Any formula in Excel starts with an equal sign. To refer to a cell, you can write, for example, =A1. This can also be written as =+A1. The "+" isn't really necessary in this case. Most likely, a user started the formula with a "+" (out of old habit, since that's what people used to do in older spreadsheet programs), and Excel added the equal sign, which is required in Excel, automatically.
