Default How do I select a range of cells in an Excel table using the mouse

When I use the mouse to select a range of cells in an Excel table
(left-button-click-and-hold, drag mouse mouse over desired cell range), when
I release the mouse ALL the data in the top row of the selected range is
COPIED to the remaining rows in the selected range... How do I prevent this,
or what is wrong w/my selection technique.

Be more careful with your initial click.

I'm thinking that you got the edge of the cell, not the cell itself.
