Copy/Pasting from sheets with different formatting

Not sure if this is possible but I'll give it a shot...

The reports I run for payroll render an alphabetical sheet (with hundreds of employees) and their respective revenues earned in an adjacent cell.

Our payroll spreadsheets are broken out by office location, so the destination formatting is completely different than the report rendering.

Is there a way to copy from the alphabetical list and paste to the location-based list, with values essentially "finding" their necessary adjacent cell? Thus mitigating painless and unnecessary data entry.

I know the easy fix would be to have the source sheet match the destination formatting, but that's not an option.

Any help is appreciated :)
 

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
It sounds like you would need to utilize the INDEX and MATCH functions together,

but without seeing the actual layout I would be shooting in the dark to go any further...
