In-Grid Copy and Paste:
You can update data in two ways:
Single-cell paste – Copy data from one cell in Excel or another source, and paste it into a single target cell in the Geosens grid using Ctrl + V or right-click paste.
Bulk paste – Copy multiple cells (e.g., a column, 1x8 or block, 6x5), select the first Cell (i.e. Left-Top Cell), and then paste them into the grid starting from the selected cell. The data will fill in automatically across the corresponding rows and columns, saving time and effort.
