When Pasting values into the list:
- Separate columns by tabs, and rows by CRLF. This is the format when cells are copied to the clipboard from Microsoft Excel.
- When using Ctrl+V to paste, select the entire row to begin pasting to ensure the cell is not in edit mode.
- Every row on the clipboard will be pasted, regardless of the number of rows you have selected.
- When there is already data in the list that you do not want to overwrite, insert a new blank item at the end of the list,then select this new row and click to ensure existing data is not overwritten.
- Blank values will be pasted.
