How do I set Excel to default to copy/paste only visible cells? I know how to use Edit/Goto/Special/Visible Cells Only, but want to set defaults to do this without the additional steps.
Thank you,

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
I was expecting this to remain a problem as I said before in my last post I don't think that the issue was the same so I did some testing.

I have now tested this on 13 machines. I am not able to produce one that defaults to copying visible and not visible alike when autofiltered. I have looked in many options, I have tried to determine if there was possibly a VBA approach that would change an option like this but I am finding nothing. Therefore I am still unaware of any way to change the default. I just know someone out there knows of a way.

Does this happen to your colleague in only this specific book? Or is it absolutely every book he has?

Perhaps my previously posted code assigned to a customized toolbar button would be a temporary band-aid. It would work like the copy button only it would only copy visible cells. Just highlight the range and click the button. If your colleague is a person that perfers keyboard shortcuts to buttons you could assign a keyboard shortcut to the code.

dear all visiable cell selection is the problem of system as by default there is copy of visiable cells only as happing on My PC & laptop.
