Excel – Paste Filtered Data into Filtered Cells

Filter the data so that it shows the cells that you want to paste

In the example below, we’ve filtered column B and want to paste in column E

  • Highlight the data in the cells/column you want to copy
  • At the same time, highlight the cells where you want to paste
    – so hold down CTRL so you can select the cells in column B as well as column E
  • Go to the menu/ribbon and on the right of the “Home” tab click “Fill”
  • Now click “Left” or “right” depending on where the column is in relation to the original data

So in the example above, we want to paste the data in a column to the right, so click on “right”

That should be the data pasted:
