Value Paste Data inside an Object

I have an sheet in Excel that i am using as a template for a report.  When i retrieve the requested data into the sheet i copy the sheet to another tab and value paste the data on the report so it will not change.  The problem is that I am using objects on the report (text boxes, chevrons) that i also use a formula.  These formulas do not get replaced by the data when i value paste the sheet and therefore their value keeps changing.  Is there a way i can value paste the data from an object and keep its formatting?

It took a bit of work but in the long run would be easier.  I adjusted the page and built my objects into cells.  Thanks
It's always best to create forms and reports using the basics, i.e. cells. Avoid MergedCells though - use centre across selection from the Format Cells dialog  -> Alignment Tab instead
