Remarks
If you do not know which string to pass to the Format parameter, you can view the strings that are compatible with the data on the Clipboard by trying the paste command in Excel . Copy the data to the Clipboard, use the Paste Special command in Excel, and then view the formats listed in the Paste Special dialog box.
NoHTMLFormatting will only matter when Format = "HTML". In all other cases, NoHTMLFormatting will be ignored.
You must select the destination range before you use this method.
This method might modify the sheet selection, depending on the contents of the Clipboard.
