Accidentally cloned a cell's formatting while moving down a column
You fat-fingered your way into a hidden efficiency. That accidental formatting clone happened because you likely pressed **Ctrl + D** (or **Cmd + D** on a Mac) after using the paint can, this shortcut fills down, copying both content and formatting from the cell above. It's the keyboard equivalent of dragging that little square handle. For applying the paint can directly to your current cell, **Ctrl + Shift + V** pastes only formatting. These shortcuts turn clumsy moments into deliberate moves.
Filtered data shouldn't mean filtered control over your selections.
Click-dragging to select one column in a filtered sheet can feel like the spreadsheet is working against you. That jarring jump from a single column to a sprawling range is a classic friction point when dealing with large, inherited datasets. The issue usually boils down to hidden rows being included in the selection logic, not a broken setting. It is a frustrating snag, but it is solvable.
