    pasting problem after selecting "go to" cells

    When I do a "go to" search for cells within a column that have formulas in them and then choose copy, when I paste the data, it comes up in a column of data starting in the first cell I choose to paste into. I want the formulas to past into the SAME rows as they were in the original column. How do I do this?

    I find the description confusing:

    So far, so good. That sounds like exactly what is supposed to happen. The stuff you copied is pasted into the cell you select for paste.

    Before doing the paste, select the cell in the destination column that is in the same row as the start of the copied selection. But that answer sounds so obvious, that I may not be understanding the question. There is nothing fundamentally different about selecting a range for copy using Go To vs. using any other method.

    Re: pasting problem after selecting "go to" cells

    Let me clarify: I use go to to find the cells in a long column that i want to copy. When I paste them into a new column, they past one after another in consecutive rows (ie: A1,A2,A3,A4,A5,etc.). I want them to show up in the same rows that they were in originally (maybe A1,A100,A115,A189, and so on) leaving the other cells alone. How do I do this?
