Google-sheets – Differences between copy-pasting from Excel/Calc/Google Sheets to Whatsapp

copy/pastegoogle sheetsmicrosoft excelwhatsapp

When I copy an excel table (or libreoffice calc) and paste it on whatsapp web I have a photo but when I paste a Google Sheets table I get the plain text on whatsapp web, as well as the images below
However when I copy a Google Sheets table and paste it into excel I have all numbers formatted as text, including the masks, but when I copy an Excel number with a mask it pastes without a mask on the sheets.

The doubts are:

  1. Can I get the same excel result for whatsap with Sheets? (pasting in the form of an image)

  2. Why does the sheets when copied convert to text and include the mask? or why does excel interpret it that way when pasting?

Just to be clear, all the questions are related to the standard copy and paste command (CTRL + C and CTRL + V) so the answers should not contain auxiliary programs or other screen capture commands.
