I always share my documents on View only, but there are ways you can copy the data.

Sharing Your Google Sheets, Publish Them

If you are still sharing your Google Sheets by email, then stop. Instead of sharing them the old way, you can now publish them. Yes, you can publish them, and Google will create a separate webpage. This webpage is accessible by the URL which is created when you publish your document.
