Default How can I automatically copy cell contents from one cell into anot

This can't be very hard, but I can't find out the best way to do this, I
need to copy the contents of a cell, from one cell, into another cell, in a
different sheet on the same workbook. I do not need to copy the formula,
what would be the best approach... Its almost like a form fill operation, a
label.

Select the Sending cell
Rightclick on it and choose Copy

Select the Receiving cell
rightclick on it and choose Paste Special. Then choose Values

====
If that receiving cell is always going to reflect the value in a specific cell
(say A1 on Sheet1), you could use a formula:

=if(sheet1!a1="","",sheet1!a1)

I find that if you name the original cell eg Total (include the worksheet
reference) then all you need t do is goto your new cell and use =SUM(Total),
and it will return exactly what is in the original cell
