I'm not sure I get what you're trying to do. You say you want to keep the formatting but then you mention converting the table to text.

In my experience, if the table if properly formatted in Excel and you place it choosing formatted table, you shouldn't have any major issues.

If you do want text, consider creating a nested paragraph style using tabs to begin and end the styling. Pasting the table as text will convert the cell borders to tabs.
