Swapping cells in Google Sheets is a common task that can be done in a few simple steps.
Suppose you have the following data:
Cells A1, A2, and A3 contain the values "Apple", "Apricot", and "Avocado".
Cells B1, B2, and B3 contain the values "Banana", "Blueberry", and "Blackberry".
You want to swap the entire A column cells (A1, A2, A3) with the B column cells (B1, B2, B3). You can use a helper column for this.
Select cells A1 to A3. Right-click and choose "Copy" or use Ctrl+C (Cmd+C on Mac).
Choose an empty area on the sheet, for example, cells C1 to C3.
Right-click on cell C1 and choose "Paste" or use Ctrl+V (Cmd+V on Mac).
Now select cells B1 to B3. Copy them using the same method.
Select cell A1. Paste the copied cells.
Select cells C1 to C3 (where you initially copied A1 to A3). Copy these cells.
Select cell B1. Paste the copied cells.
Finally, clear the cells in the temporary location (C1 to C3).
