The article says By default, Excel copies hidden or filtered cells in addition to visible cells. but when I copy filtered or hidden not included by default. Is there any setting for this in Excel 365?
"If some cells, rows, or columns on a worksheet do not appear, you have the option of copying all cells—or only the visible cells. By default, Excel copies hidden or filtered cells in addition to visible cells. If this is not what you want, follow the steps in this article to copy visible cells only. For example, you can choose to copy only the summary data from an outlined worksheet."

we need to ask excel to ignore the hidden cells explicitly.
the following steps to copy the visible cells are given below:
1.select data as usual. But do not copy it yet.
2.Type F5 or Ctrl+G which opens the go to special dialog.
3.Click special button. This provides options to select specific cells depending upon the criterion you choose.
4.Choose visible cells only & click OK.
5.Copy the data now. Notice that only visible areas are copied.
6.Now when you paste, it will work as expected.

Hi,
My question was since Filtered is taking care of only copy pasting visible cells only then why to follow these steps? But this article saying different. Give a try on filtered and you will see only visible data copied. thanks

When I try to paste the cells after copying them in this way only part of the data will paste. Any idea why I'm unable to copy and paste visible cells without excel omitting part of my data?

With this macro you can easily copy-paste values from & to visible cells only.
It works like this:
Run the code > an inputbox will pop up > select the range to copy > OK > another inputbox will pop up > select the range to paste (select the first cell only) > OK.
If you need to use it frequently, you can put the code in a code module in the "Personal.xlsb" and then assign it to a button in the toolbar menu. So you just have to click the button when you need to run it.
Sub CopyVisibleToVisible1()
'use this for:
'Copy paste(value only):
'from filtered range to filtered range
'from filtered range to unfiltered range
'from unfiltered range to filtered range
'Not work on hidden column
'How it works:
'Run the code > an inputbox will pop up > select the range to copy > OK > anoher inputbox will pop up
' > select the range to paste (select the first cell only) > OK
'If you need to use it frequently, you can put the code in a code module in the "Personal.xlsb" and
'then assign it to a button in the toolbar menu. So you just have to click the button when you need to run it.
