In Excel? Click on field X, press and hold ctrl and click on field Y to mark both fields, then just copy&paste should work.
Otherwise this is up to the app. A generic clipboard has no concept of the content of X and Y being in different fields (because it has no clue what a "field" is). It just stores the content.
- diffeomorphism 5y ago... otherwise clipboard managers work like a stack. So you can copy X, then copy Y, paste Y, pop the stack, paste X. Or with primary selection: select X and press ctrl+c, select Y; ctrl+v to insert X, middle-click to insert Y.
