Selecting Cells, Rows, and Columns in a Spreadsheet

Click the cell with your mouse or trackpad to make it the active selection. You can also use the arrow keys to move the active selection from one cell to another. Double‑click a cell or press Enter to start editing its contents — useful when adjusting line items in a quote or proposal.

Click and drag across cells to select a contiguous range. To extend a selection with the keyboard, click the first cell and hold Shift while pressing the arrow keys, or Shift + click a second cell to select the whole range between them. This is handy when applying the same formatting or calculations across a block of cells in your sales quoting software.

Click the row number on the left edge of the spreadsheet to select the full row, or click the column header (letter) at the top to select the entire column. Selecting full rows or columns makes it fast to apply consistent formatting, resize, or perform bulk actions across a pricing table used in quote software or proposal software.

Yes. Hold Ctrl (Windows) or Command (macOS) and click each cell, row header, or column header you want to include to build a non‑contiguous selection. This lets you format or act on several separate areas at once — for example, highlighting specific line items across different sections of a sales proposal.

Any action you take affects the entire selection. Applying formatting, deleting content, or merging cells will be applied to every cell in the selected range. If you merge cells, the selected group becomes a single cell; if you delete rows or columns inside the selection, cells shift accordingly. Use care when editing blocks that are linked to calculations in your quoting or proposal documents.

Selecting full rows or columns is useful when you need consistent formatting or bulk operations — for example, applying currency formatting across all prices, resizing columns to fit long item descriptions, or inserting formulas that reference whole data ranges. In the context of sales quoting software and proposal software, it speeds up preparing professional, consistent tables for quotes and proposals.

Use the arrow keys to move the active cell. Hold Shift plus the arrow keys to extend a contiguous selection. Use Shift + click to select the range between two cells. To create a discontiguous selection, hold Ctrl (Windows) or Command (macOS) while clicking each desired cell, row header, or column header. These shortcuts streamline editing when building quotes or working inside QuoteCloud spreadsheets.

The Spreadsheet block lets you manage data, perform calculations, and present information in table format. Selecting cells, rows, or columns lets you format price lists, apply calculations to groups of items, merge cells for clear headings, and prepare tables for embedding in quotes or proposals. This makes the Spreadsheet block a practical tool inside QuoteCloud for producing accurate quote documents with your quote software and proposal software workflows.
