Hello everyone, I want to create a sheet that has a cell displaying what is being held in the clipboard and it updates whenever the clipboard holds different data. Can someone please tell me if this is possible and if so, how it can be done? The reason for this is because there are multiple cells that the user can copy from and it's useful to see at a glance what is currently held.

Thanks.
 
Is everything ok now ?
Yes, thank you so much for your help with this. I still have outstanding queries about other functionality, but in terms of the specific outcome of this thread, you have completely resolved it.

How to show all formulas in Excel?
Press Ctrl+` to show all formulas. Press it again to toggle back to numbers. The grave accent is often under the tilde on US keyboards.

Actually, I wonder if you can help. I want to prevent blank unprotected cells from the range specified being copied/showing in the clipboard cell. Do you know how this can be done?
