Paste Values to Visible/Filtered Cells Only

Here, we will first create a VBA module and then run it to complete the task. So let us see a simple process to know how you can paste values to visible or filtered cells only in Excel.

Step 1

Consider an Excel sheet where the data in the sheet is similar to the below image.

First, right-click on the sheet name and select View code to open the VBA application.

Right Click > View Code.

Step 2

Then click on Insert and select Module, then copy the below code into the text box.

Insert > Module > Copy.

Code

Sub CopyFilteredCells()
	Dim rng1 As Range
	Dim rng2 As Range
	Dim InputRng As Range
	Dim OutRng As Range
	xTitleId     = "Paste To Visible"
	Set InputRng = Application.Selection
	Set InputRng = Application.InputBox("Copy Range :", xTitleId, InputRng.Address, Type: = 8)
	Set OutRng   = Application.InputBox("Paste Range:", xTitleId, Type: = 8)
	For Each rng1 In InputRng
		rng1.Copy
		For Each rng2 In OutRng
			If rng2.EntireRow.RowHeight > 0 Then
				rng2.PasteSpecial
				Set OutRng = rng2.Offset(1).Resize(OutRng.Rows.Count)
				Exit For
			End If
		Next
	Next
	Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

Step 3

Then click F5 to run the module, select the range of cells you want to copy, and click OK.

F5 > Select Cells > Ok.

Step 4

Then select the range of cells to paste and click OK to complete the task.

Select Cells > Ok.
