If I have filtered on rows and I want to paste data on a particular row, why does it copy in the cells inbetween that I havent filtered on?

RE: Filters

Hi Bhumee,

Thank you for the forum question.

When you filter data in Excel the only thing Excel is doing is hiding rows, so you only can see the rows you have asked for.

When you paste, Excel do not ignore the hidden rows. You will have to sort your data so you have no hidden rows between the data you want to use when you filter your list. You can use the Sort tool on the Data tab.

I hope this make sense.


Kind regards

Excel tip:

Convert Text to Columns in Excel 2010

If you have a cell in your Excel spreadsheet that contains a lot of text and you want to divide it into separate columns, this can only be done if there is a logical character which separates the text, for example, a comma.

Select the cells you would like to convert. On the Data tab, click Text to Columns. Choose the format of your current data.

Select Delimited if the text contains a logical character otherwise select Fixed Width if there are a certain number of spaces between each field.

Click Next when a preview of the data appears. Then select the type of character that separates the various fields. If the character is not listed, select Other and enter the character.

Click Next again and then choose the format for each of the columns. Select the column heading in the Data preview and then select a data type from the Column data format options.

Click Finish and the text will appear in several columns.
