  • Thank you for this video about how to paste visible cells only. It works only if you paste the cells on a different sheet where cells are not hidden. If I try to copy from Col. A and paste it on Col. B on that same sheet where some cells are invisible, it does not work.
    Can you please advise? I am using office 365.

    • Hi Peace;

      That makes sens. If the rows are hidde, they will be hidden when you paste. You could paste into a different worksheet (as you suggest) or workbook.
