Off the top of my head, I'm going to guess this isn't possible, but I thought I'd put it out there.

I have a filtered table with hidden columns. I need to capture all the columns but only want the filtered rows. Any way to copy/paste (non-VBA) in this scenario?

Thanks y'all.

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.

No. There's the ability to copy only the visible, but that affects rows and columns.

I'd suggest using Custom Views (View tab) to quickly switch between a view with hidden columns and one showing everything.

Since you've already got your columns hidden, go to Views, Custom Views and click Add, give the view a name.
Then unhide the columns and create another custom view for Showing All.

You can now filter the view showing all, copy just the visible rows (ALT+; to select), then go back to your hidden column view.
