+# How to copy the used range from one Excel workbook to another?
+
+The [UsedRange](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.XlsIO.IWorksheet.html#Syncfusion_XlsIO_IWorksheet_UsedRange) of [IWorksheet](https://help.syncfusion.com/cr/document-processing/Syncfusion.XlsIO.IWorksheet.html) returns the contiguous range that contains data in a worksheet. By default, Excel also considers cells that have only formatting applied as part of the used range.
+
+The following code examples show how to copy the used range from a source workbook to a destination workbook in C# (cross-platform and Windows-specific) and VB.NET.
