ClaudiaO What is "FTE only"?

Riny_van_Eekelen Hi Riny. Full-Time employee visible only.

Of course, another way, if the Excel data comes from an outside source, would be to alter the process by which you extract the data in the first place.
[I'm retired now, but in my working career was the director of the HR/Payroll database for a major corporation, so I've worked with exactly this kind of situation many times. And am aware of the many wrinkles in using Excel to analyze HR/Payroll data.]

Full-Time employee visible only.
Presumably meaning only the records of FTE are visible to you, the user. Said another way, FILTER out part-time, temp, etc?
If you are using the most recent release of Excel, there's a function called FILTER that could do it, "it" being to display only the FTE records.
Here's a resource that could help you write the formula using FILTER in your own case. https://exceljet.net/excel-functions/excel-filter-function
Or you could post a copy of your actual sheet (or a sample of it) just being sure to remove any real info of real employee names or other identifiable data elements (SSN, address, phone #, etc).

ClaudiaO I suspected that, but than I don't understand what you mean by "make an Excel document FTE only". Do you perhaps want to calculate FTE?
