I suspect that you haven't actually tried that macro. I have tested it and it does exactly what you want.

Hi Hans,
Thanks a lot. I tried it again today. It worked. I am not sure what I missed when I did last time. I tried with 2 example and it worked. Thanks a ton :-). Is there a way to place a feature request to Microsoft to implement this feature and include it under the existing "Paste Special" menu item?

From within Excel: select File > Feedback and click Send a Suggestion.
And you could add your vote to Ability to paste to filtered (visible) cells on the Excel Feedback Portal.
- Muthukumar_NatesanOct 09, 2022Copper ContributorThanks Hans. I have upvoted. The count is 72. I hope Microsoft implements this feature very soon. Till then I will use the macro that you shared.

- Muthukumar_NatesanOct 09, 2022Copper ContributorThanks Cangkir. I did assign the macro to the toolbar button. If I have to use this macro in other excel files, I have to ensure that this xlsm file is kept open when I am working on the other excel files and also have to set "enable VBA macros" option which is bit risky if I fail to change it to old settings after completing my task. Hence I would prefer a long term solution which is having this feature included as part of "Paste Special" menu item.

You might store the macro in a module in your Personal Macro Workbook PERSONAL.XLSB.
It will then be available in all workbooks.
