Prevent Excel from Refreshing Data When Copying and Pasting

Problem:

When copying dynamic data out of excel when pasting the value pasted changes.

Solution:

Change the setting in excel to perform automatic calculations:

File tab -> options -> Formulas side tab -> Under the calculation Options, workbook calculation, select manual. Optionally you can shut off recalculate workbook before saving depending on situation.
