Some actions clear the clipboard

Some actions in Excel will clear the clipboard after you have copied or cut.

Two common ones are

  • inserting a new sheet
  • clearing a filter – using Clear in the Data menu (keyboard shortcut Alt a c )

So if you are going to do either of these, do them before copying or cutting.
