When you copy cells in Excel, the data in the copied cells, the cell references are automatically adjusted. If the copied area includes hidden cells, these cells are also copied. To copy a selection of cells to a different worksheet, click another worksheet tab and select the upper-left cell of the paste area.

When they are pasted data should not change, but cell references in formulas may change. That depends on the reference styles. Relative references will change. Mixed references may change, depending on the type of mixed reference and where they are being copied to. Absolute references will not change.

If there is a formula in the cell that is being copied, remembering that formulas are not data, then the formula will not be changed in the copied cell, but may adjust in the cell or cells it is copied to, depending on what the formula actually is. Cell references may change, but they will not if they are absolute references for example.
