How do I switch the contents of 2 cells in Excel?

[MarL8346]

I would like to switch the contents of 2 cells (side-by-side.) I want to
avoid using the drop and drag method of moving the contents of the first
cell to a blank cell and then dropping the contents of the second cell into
the first and then pasting the contents of the first cell into the second
cell. Is there a quicker way to do this? I have to do this for about 100
cells and want to do it as quickly as possible. Thanks!
