    Have you tried using Copy from Excel worksheet and then Paste into Excel worksheet? This should generally do the trick.

    Agnius, thank you

    The result didn't change!

    In Paste an option 'Named cells' exists however I don't know if that may work as I can't see where to name the cells selected?

    Thoughts?

    I would suggest that send following keys after selecting the cells.

    • {Alt}({E})SF{Return}
