Select the first cell where you want to paste the copied cells.
Press CTRL+C or right-click->Copy to copy these selected rows.

When you copy from a filtered column or table, Excel automatically copies only the visible rows. Now, copying from a filtered table is quite straightforward. You will now see only the rows with Department “IT”. You can simply uncheck “Select All” to quickly uncheck everything and then just select “IT”. So, select the arrow next to the Department header and uncheck the boxes next to all the departments, except “IT”.
In this example, we want to filter out only the rows that contain the Department “IT”.
You can click on any arrow to choose a filter for the corresponding column. These are meant to help you filter your cells.
You will notice small arrows on every cell of the header row.
From the Data tab, select the ‘Filter’ button under the ‘ Sort & Filter’ group.
Given the above table, say you want to copy all the rows of employees from the IT department only.įor this, you can apply a filter to your table as follows:

If you want to rotate your data frequently to view it from different angles, consider creating a PivotTable so that you can quickly pivot your data by dragging fields from the Rows area to the Columns area (or vice versa) in the PivotTable Field List. Verify these formulas use absolute references-if they don’t, you can switch between relative, absolute, and mixed references before you rotate the data. If your data includes formulas, Excel automatically updates them to match the new placement. Īfter rotating the data successfully, you can delete the original table and the data in the new table will remain intact. Right-click over the top-left cell of where you want to paste the transposed table, then choose Transpose. The new table that you paste there will entirely overwrite any data / formatting that’s already there. Note: Ensure that you copy the data to do this, since using the Cut command or Ctrl+X won’t work.Ĭhoose a new location in the worksheet where you want to paste the transposed table, ensuring that there is plenty of room to paste your data.
