You can choose a group of cells in the Grid view by drawing a selection rectangle around a collection of cells. This is useful when you want to perform a selection on a group of cells or copy only a portion of the data in the table or worksheet.

To draw a selection rectangle in the grid:

In the Grid view of an open table or worksheet, completing the following:
  1. Click the cell that you want as the upper left corner of the rectangle.
  2. Press Shift and then click the cell that you want as the bottom right corner.

The Trillion-Row Spreadsheet surrounds the selected cells with an orange rectangle.
