Default moving values only

Is it possible to move the content of a cell without moving the associated
formating.

I know about pasting values only.

However, is it possible to move the number in cell in a cell by dragging it
without moving the formatting, so the content takes the formating of the new
cell where it is dropped.

Masood,

You want to do this via dragging. Right-drag the source cell(s) by the edge (the normal way
you move cells). You'll get a menu from which you can choose "Copy here as Values Only."
This will preserve the target (cells onto which you are copying) formatting.

top-posted, the thread gets messy. When in Rome.
