If you don't want the value to change then why are you copying a formula.
cell is a single cell range as you might use if your were looping through cells
or only working with a single cell.

cell.value is the value
cell.formula is the formula
cell.text is a formatted string of what appears in the cell.
cell.numberformat is the format itself
