How to paste data into filtered list only skipping hidden rows in Excel?

As we all known, when we attempt to paste values into a filtered table list, the hidden rows are not skipped, so we will get a wrong result. For example, I have two worksheets, Sheet 1 contains the data which has been filtered out, and Sheet 2 has the data which I want to paste it to filtered Sheet 1 as following screenshots shown. Is there any function that we can get the data pasted into the filtered rows only in Excel?

It works, thank you. The first method is quiet simple for me even for the table with thousands of rows.

Hallo zusammen, ich habe die Version mit den Hilfsspalten soeben ausprobiert und mit ein paar kleinen Änderungen, funktioniert es auch in M365: = REIHE () gibt es nicht mehr, das heißt jetzt: =ZEILE()
Nachdem ich diese Formel eingefügt habe, habe ich (in meiner gefilterten Liste) die Werte, die bei =ZEILE() angezeigt werden farbig markiert. Erst anschließend habe ich wieder den Filter entfernt und die Liste nach der ausgewählten Farbe sortiert. Fertig! So kann man die obersten (farbigen) Zellen nun bearbeiten und Daten einfügen.

Hello, friends
If the above method can not work well, here, you can also use the below VBA code: (Note: Before using the code, you should backup your data, the code doesn't support undo.)
Sub CopyFilteredCells()
	'Updateby Extendoffice
	Dim rng1 As Range
	Dim rng2 As Range
	Dim InputRng As Range
	Dim OutRng As Range
	xTitleId     = "KutoolsforExcel"
	Set InputRng = Application.Selection
	Set InputRng = Application.InputBox("Copy Range :", xTitleId, InputRng.Address, Type: = 8)
	Set OutRng   = Application.InputBox("Paste Range:", xTitleId, Type: = 8)
	For Each rng1 In InputRng
		rng1.Copy
		For Each rng2 In OutRng
			If rng2.EntireRow.RowHeight > 0 Then
				rng2.PasteSpecial
				Set OutRng = rng2.Offset(1).Resize(OutRng.Rows.Count)
				Exit For
			End If
		Next
	Next
	Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub


Please have a try, hope it can help you!
