Thank you for showing the shortcut in Excel to copy the contents of the cell above.

I know how to copy the cell above CTRL D or CTRL ' and the one to the Left CTRL R - but how do you copy the cell BELOW to the cell right above?

I'm trying to get the command to stop copying from the row below...don't know why / how it started doing that. I want to copy the top cell down to the next...usually CTRL " or CTRL D works but it's doing the opposite right now.
