Tips for Consistent Copying and Pasting Data Across Rows and Columns

I face the issue of pasting data in multiple rows across the columns, so already tried ctrl+c/ctrl+v and copy/paste buttons in clay, but it works from time to time. Could you advise on some approach that data could be copied and pasted constantly?

To reliably copy and paste data into multiple rows and columns in Clay, use these steps:

For lists in a cell, open Cell details and use “Turn items into rows” to move each item into its own row in another table. [1] [2] [3]
For splitting or extracting column data, add a column with the “Formulas” feature and specify your operation (e.g., split names, extract values).
You can also use “Write to Other Table” to map columns or lists from one table to another, ensuring each value is placed correctly. [4]

This approach avoids manual copy/paste issues and keeps your data organized.
