Copying Data via Drag-and-Drop from a Data Set Window or the Data View

23.08.2021

You can insert ranges from data sets into the data set in the data set window using the mouse:

1.In the data set window of the source data set or in data view, use your mouse or keyboard to select the range that you would like to transfer into the target data set.

2.Move the mouse to the edge of the selection. The shape of the mouse cursor changes from the cell cursor to an arrow cursor.

3.Hold down the left mouse button and drag the range to the position in the data view where you would like to copy the data. A gray frame appears at the positions where insertion is possible. The frame size corresponds to the size of the selected range. By moving your mouse, the frame moves in the data grid. If you move the mouse to the edge of the data set window or data view, the visible section is moved as far as possible in the direction of the movement.

4.Next, release the left mouse button at the desired location. The selected data is then copied to the selected location. Any previously existing data will be overwritten.

Note   If during the drag-and-drop operation you have to switch to a different window, move the mouse briefly to the window tab that you want to bring to the foreground.
