Just a minor fix:
1. Replace all the "|" with the tab character with a text editor.
2. Select the portion you want to paste.
2a. Copy to clipboard.
3. Go to the first cell in Lyx.
4. Edit > Paste Special > Plain Text.
5. Table row and columns numbers should be compatible with the text file

Baris,
The two critical pieces I missed before were steps 1 and 4. Using tabs and
paste special did the job.
Many of the tables I use in a lyx document are generated by sql
extraction from a database table, an R function, or cleaned data in emacs.
While I've tried bulk copying without using tabs and paste special I did not
get the results needed.
Many thanks for the lesson.
Best regards,
Rich
