I am cutting and pasting numbers which are in the format 1 - 0. Excel
insists on conveting some numbers into dates even when I tell it to
"use destination formating". Before I go and use a sledgehammer to
crack a nut by writing a formula to convert it back, is there a simple
way around this.

Your question was "within" the formula

Type a single quote (aka apostrophe) before pasting
