RE: pasting values and not hidden rows/columns

Hi Julie

I saw this question posted earlier - for completeness I have added the answer here as well - let me know how you get on.

Kind regards,

Andrew

First highlight your data
On the Home Ribbon click Find and Select

(it's in the Editing group - you could always right click on it and add it to the Quick Access Toolbar if this is something you will be doing a lot)

Click Go to and choose Special
Click on Visible cells only and then OK

Now copy your selection (Ctrl + C)

When you paste your data into a new sheet you will find it only includes visible items.

Excel tip:

Reconciling a list to correspond with another

May have a list that needs to make but on another sheet one list seems to be out, eg. product list one sheet contains all product and inventory data, while the other contains pricing data. Both need to match with all products but there is more products in one list than the other. To find the disparaging product compare data in the two columns that need to match Make sure that order the same way.
Create another column in the sheet that has the most items and type in the first cell

=Exact(text1,text2) text1 being the cell that you want compared with text2 cell reference. Drag to filldown and your first false will give you for first cells that does not match. Correct insert the row with data in other sheet and continue the process until all the data returns true. Delete the column inserted.
