VBA Force Paste Special Values Only

Hi all, having some trouble with something that is likely very uncomplicated, but due to my very, very rookie status when it comes to VBA, it's complicated. I have a template being used for data import into a website tool developed for my team at work. It needs to be imported as a CSV file. I have a button to export the file to CSV, which is working fine.

Users will very likely be copying/pasting data from other workbooks into this template, and I need a VBA function that:
  • Force paste special, values only
  • Retains the ability to use undo function (ctrl+z)
  • No specific range(s). Anything that is copied and pasted into the workbook
  • Limited to the template only, macro doesn't run in other open workbooks

I've scoured multiple threads on this, nothing fit with what I need, and I am not nearly experienced enough to compile code from multiple sources to fit my needs. Jaafar Tribak's solution in this thread worked to some extend, but the macro was running in all workbooks I had open and errors were occurring.

Can someone provide VBA code for this, with a semi-detailed explanation of where to put it in the editor (worksheet vs workbook vs module), and how it works? I would be so appreciative.

Thank you.
