I do that with regular CTRL-C listening for the copy event to do on a row/cell basis. I also have function that copies all visible row/columns to the clipboard.
On flex the setClipboard function only stores text data, but you can add HTML tags inside to do basic formatting if you paste it in MS Excel. Such as bordering, bold, headers... The AIR version of the function allows differenthttp://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/InteractiveObject.html#event:copy clipboard types to be used. Not all programs accept the HTML formatting automatically since it has the text clipboard type. One point to note, the system clipboard has a security requirement that the user trigger the action with a button or key combination to allow the action.
