Can you confirm that the values look as expected after you paste them into Elements? Elements allows you to click on the column header and then click the Chart button to see a plot of the given attribute.
One thing that's tricky is that Elements is a relational editor. That is, Elements always seeks to enforce the relationships between weather variables. Therefore, when you paste into Elements, you need to take care of choosing an appropriate value for "Variables to Hold Constant". Order of operations may be important as well. For example, if you have atmospheric pressure, you may want to paste that column in first. There is a small tutorial here: https://bigladdersoftware.com/projects/elements/docs/user-guide/tutorial-create-from-scratch.html
If you have them, I would paste in the following order:
After each time you cut and paste, you can check that nothing changed by referring to the chart and comparing that to your source data.
If you are still having problems, you are welcome to email Elements support at elements@bigladdersoftware.com and we'd be happy to take a deeper look at it.
