Supposing you want to replace some data in a filtered range in Excel, how will you get it done quickly? Normally, you might disable the filter, and then replace the data one by one. Here I will introduce several methods to replace filtered data without disabling filter in Excel easily.

Replace filtered data to same value without disabling filter in Excel

For example you find out some spelling mistakes in the filtered data, and now you want to batch correct these mistakes. In this case, you can replace all filtered data to same value without disabling filter as follows:

1. Select cells you will replace in the filter range, and press Alt + ; keys simultaneously to select only visible cells.

Then you will see all selected cells in filtered range are replaced by the typed values at once.
