Do not paste in hidden cells
I have a spreadsheet with 30 rows I hide 20 that are not in order and I want
to copy and paste data from another spreadsheet only in the visible cells. But when I copy and paste excel paste from the cell I select and continues pasting also at the hidden cells so I loose the order. Is there a way to avoid pasting data in the hidden cells? |

Do not paste in hidden cells
Maybe you could sort your range so the visible cells are together. Then paste
over those visible rows. Then sort the data back the way you want???

Do not paste in hidden cells
Funny. Mr. Peterson had a better answer to this problem back on a post dated
7/06/06, just in reverse (how do you COPY a selection while ignoring hidden rows). Try this: Select your copy range edit|copy Select your filtered target range edit|goto special|Visible cells only edit|paste "Dave Peterson" wrote: Maybe you could sort your range so the visible cells are together.

Did that actually paste into the visible cells (and leave the hidden cells
alone) for you? Arun wrote: Funny. Mr. Peterson had a better answer to this problem back on a post dated 7/06/06, just in reverse (how do you COPY a selection while ignoring hidden rows).

Sure did. Did it work for you?
PS: Of the hundred or so posts I've seen from you, that's the first time I think I've seen you ASK a question on this site. Thanks for all your contributions.

Do not paste in hidden cells
I was surprised that it worked for you.
I tested using xl2003. I put 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,... in A1:A20 of sheet1 I put a,b,c,d,e,f,... in A1:A14 of sheet2 I copied A1:A14 of sheet2. I filtered to show the 2's in sheet1 I selected that filtered range and did the Edit|goto|special|visible cells and then (with A2 the active cell in the selection), I did edit|paste And when I showed all the data, it wasn't just the visible cells that got pasted over.

You're right, that doesn't work. In the application I was using only
required posting single row repeatedly into the filtered range. "Dave Peterson" wrote: I was surprised that it worked for you. I tested using xl2003.

Do not paste in hidden cells
Is there a solution then if sorting the list is not an option?

Do not paste in hidden cells
Try this.
* Filter it the way you want. * In an unused column adjacent to your list as part of your list and paste in the any number or letter using the method described on my first post below (this method does work if your copy range is just a single cell or row). * Turn off the list function and use this new column as your first sort criteria. This will put all the rows you want to paste in adjacent rows for a standard copy paste. "Vikas" wrote: Is there a solution then if sorting the list is not an option?
