Suppose I have a column of numbers, say in A1 through A600...
The =SUM(A1:A600) works perfectly for the sum.
Now, for successive formulas, I wish to use the same cell reference
(i.e. A1-A600), but a different formula, such as:
* * *=STDEV(A1:A600)
Is there a way to use copy and paste, or whatever, to insert the same
cell range into a different formula?

As you enter the first formula (or after you select that cell), use
the cursor to select the desired text (in this case, A1:A600) in the
"fx" field in the formula bar and press ctrl+c to copy the text to the
clipboard. (Press Esc to exit edit mode if you had already entered
the first formula.) Then, as you type other formulas, press ctrl+v to
paste from the clipboard. If the formula bar is not present, click on
ViewFormula Bar.
