RE: pasting values and not hidden rows/columns

Hi Julie

I saw this question posted earlier - for completeness I have added the answer here as well - let me know how you get on.

Kind regards,

First highlight your data
On the Home Ribbon click Find and Select

(it's in the Editing group - you could always right click on it and add it to the Quick Access Toolbar if this is something you will be doing a lot)

Click Go to and choose Special
Click on Visible cells only and then OK

Now copy your selection (Ctrl + C)

When you paste your data into a new sheet you will find it only includes visible items.

Excel tip:

Ctrl+d's double life

Suppose I have a formula in B1 that I wish to copy into B2:B10. I can select B1:B10 then press Ctrl+d to copy the formula down the selected range. Users generally ignore this shortcut in favour of double-clicking on the fill handle to copy down, but Ctrl+d is useful sometimes particularly when there is no data in surrounding columns to guide to how far the double-click method should copy formulae.

Ctrl+d has another use though. When I use the drawing toolbar to draw objects such as Text Boxes, Rectangles and Ovals onto a worksheet, Ctrl+d makes an instant duplicate of selected shapes. For example, I need five Text Boxes the same size. I draw one Text box and adjust it to the size I want, select it, then press Ctrl+d four times to get four identical copies.
