how can i disable/enable "copy and past" in excel sheet?

[Aman]

Can you help me with VBA code? because i want t keep the formatting and
condition on cells as i did and disable the user to use copy and past from
another unformatted cell

Place this code in the worksheet module.

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'retain formatting when a cell is copied over
Dim myValue
With Application
.EnableEvents = False
myValue = Target.Value
.Undo
Target = myValue
.EnableEvents = True
End With
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

Note: will crash if cells are "cut" rather than copied.

I've done this by customizing the ribbon to remove that functionality

I also added some code to catch the keyboard commands and have them do
something different

It was kind of complicated to do it, but given some constraints I had, it
was what needed to be done.
