    Formating issue after copy/paste

    Hi everyone,

    I have copied the following table from a mail and then I have pasted it into an Excel sheet :
    Tableau Mail.png

    Here is the result in my Excel sheet :
    Tableau Excel.png

    Values in the first and in the second columns have been automatically formated in scientific notation.
    I do not want to format any values.
    I want my table to be the same as it is in the mail.
    What I need to do to achieve my goal ?

    Thanks in advance

    Thank you for your answer.

    Here is how I have resolved my problem :
    - I have applied the custom format @ on all cells before pasting
    - I have pasted the table into the sheet
    - I have chosen to respect the destination formatting in the pasting context menu
