hi Adam,

 

thanks for the answer, 

but i tried all the possibilities of the example, and the result is the same, every time i loose the formats when i paste from excel:

 

	col1	col2	col3
row1	1	2	3
row2	54	54	54
row3	red	yellow	blue

 

	col1	col2	col3
row1	1	2	3
row2	54	54	54
row3	red	yellow	blue
