Default READING DATA FROM COLUMNS

There is feature called autofilter that does exactly what you want. First
put a header cell on top of columns A&B. Click on A1 and pull-down:

Data FIlter AutoFilter

You can then set the filter to display only the rows with B in column A.
Copy the data and paste it elsewhere. Then turnoff the autofilter.

You will see that the correct data has been pasted.
