    Place a single quote (') in front of the zeros before you copy the cells.

    If you need to apply this to lots of cells, set the contents of one cell to ' and use CONCAT to populate a new column with the ' and the cell contents.

    If A1 is ' and the values you want to copy start in B1:

    Set C1 to =CONCAT($A$1, $B1) and fill the formula down.
