In Google Sheets, the standard shortcut to paste content, including formulas, is Ctrl + V (or Cmd + V on Mac). When a cell containing a formula is copied using Ctrl + C, using Ctrl + V in a new cell will paste the formula, automatically adjusting relative cell references. This is the fundamental method for duplicating formulas across cells.

A. Ctrl + C: This is the keyboard shortcut for copying the selected cell(s), not for pasting.

B. Ctrl + F: This shortcut opens the "Find and replace" dialog box to search for content within the sheet.

C. Ctrl + Shift + V: This shortcut is for "Paste values only," which pastes the calculated result of a formula but removes the formula itself.
