Default Function not copying

For a variety of solid reasons that are too lengthy and irrelevant t
get into here, I have the following setup: a cell that contains th
following formula

=GetTheText("D95", "D49"

(D95 and D49 are just examples. What is important is that the cel
that contains this formula is neither cell D95 or D49.

Here is the GetTheText function

Function GetTheText(SourceCell As String, TargetCell As String

Range(SourceCell).Selec
Selection.Cop
Range(TargetCell).Selec
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteAll, Operation:=xlNone
SkipBlanks:=
False, Transpose:=Fals

End Functio

Nothing seems to happen. When I check the clipboard it shows nothin
in there. Is there any reason why a function might refuse to put
value into another cell? Seems unlikely.

The bigger question here is how can create a function (so that I ca
plug it into a cell) that copies the contents of a cell and paste
special (to retain formatting) into another cell. We're talking
cells, here

thank you
