There is a solution to your problem. Since you already formatted the destination cells, all you need to do is copy your cells the way you usually do it. When you want to start the paste, go right click. Then click paste special and click values.
The values will only be copied not the entire cell. While you are selecting the Paste Special, try to look at the other choices shown. If you choose text, this means that you are copying the entire data table from other excel file.
When all the data is paste to its proper column, you should open a new sheet, then paste as text into this blank sheet. Now copy the table and right click and paste values into your formatted destination sheet. Â
