To copy only the visible rows after filtering data in Excel, use the "Go To Special" feature to select visible cells only, then copy and paste as usual. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Select Your Data: Ensure your filtered data range is selected. If you've just applied the filter, the filtered results should already be selected.
-
Access "Go To Special": Go to the Home tab on the Excel ribbon. In the Editing group, click Find & Select, and then choose Go To Special.... Alternatively, you can press F5, then click Special....
-
Select Visible Cells Only: In the "Go To Special" dialog box, select the option Visible cells only.
-
Click OK: Click the OK button. This will select only the visible cells within your filtered range, ignoring the hidden rows.
-
Copy the Selected Data: Copy the selected visible cells by clicking the Copy button (in the Home tab under the Clipboard group) or by pressing Ctrl+C.
-
Paste the Data: Select the upper-left cell where you want to paste the copied data. Then, click the Paste button (in the Home tab under the Clipboard group) or press Ctrl+V. Only the visible cells you copied will be pasted.
In summary, by using "Go To Special" and selecting "Visible cells only", you can easily copy only the filtered data in Excel without including the hidden rows.
