How to Copy Paste Filtered Data

1. Drag your mouse over the filtered data so it is highlighted. This identifies to the program which data you wish to copy.
2. Press the 'F5' button on your computer keyboard, if you are using Excel 2007 or later. A pop-up window will appear. Alternately, you can click the 'Go To' button in the 'Find Select' section of the Excel toolbar. This step is not necessary for versions of Excel prior to 2007.
3. Click the 'Special' button on the pop-up window.
4. Click the 'Visible cells only' option, and press 'OK'. This instructs Excel to only select the data included in the filtered results. Hidden data from the original unfiltered data set is ignored. You are now ready to copy.
5. Press the Control-C keyboard combination to copy the data. Alternately, select the 'Copy' button on the Excel toolbar.
6. Click on the spreadsheet, file, or other document where you wish to paste the filtered data.
7. Press the Control-V keyboard combination to paste. The filtered data is pasted into the new file.
