I want to "lock in" column formats (i.e., custom formats, general, date, number, text) on a worksheet template so that data copied from another source and pasted into a cell does not change the format I locked in. I figured this would be an option in settings but I cannot find such, so I thought perhaps embedding a macro into the template would be able to accomplish this "locking in" of formats so that when a user opens the template and starts pasting in data, it maintains the locked in formatting of the template. The user then saves a non-template version of the worksheet with the data they entered. All formatting locked in even in the saved non-template version.
