ABSTRACT:
An example of a solution provided here comprises defining one or more combinations of options, defining an operation to execute (e.g. copy and paste, or cut and paste), computing the content of each cell within the source cell range according to the options, creating a version instance of the destination cell range, and copying the source range of cells into the version instance. Each of the options is defined as a boolean variable, which can be set as “True” or “False,” and impact the content of a cell within an electronic spreadsheet.
