Why is an ‘Information Cannot be Pasted’ Message Displaying?

That type of message will display if you have copied multiple values and try to paste them into an area that does not match the size and shape of the area from which you copied the values. For example, values from three adjacent, vertical cells in this column were copied.

Then the user selected two adjacent, vertical cells in another column, right-clicked, and selected Paste.

The paste cannot be completed because the area selected does not match the size of the copied area.
