Copying Only One Column of a Filtered Table

I have a worksheet with a unique number in column A "NumberList" and other columns of data. Autofiltering is on. I need to filter the worksheet on column 13, then copy the contents of displayed cells in column A to another worksheet.

In 2001, Dave provided an elegant response to a similar question, now in the archive, #12560:

Sub SetFilteredRange()
Dim FilterRange As Range

'Offset 1 Row to exclude headings
Set FilterRange = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Offset(1, 0) _
.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)

FilterRange.Copy Destination:=Sheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")
End Sub

That code works perfectly except that it copies all columns of displayed data to Sheet2, but I need to copy only column A.

This might help:
Filter Sheet1 on column 13="Yes" 'there are 10 values
Select Column A
Copy Displayed cells from Column A
Paste values only at Sheet2, cell A5 'The 10 values will fill cells A5:A14
 

Excel Facts

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
One workaround is to temporarily hide the unrequired columns in Sheet1 - not very elegant though and it increases processing time.

How about ...

Code:
Sub SetFilteredRange()
    On Error Resume Next
    ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Offset(1).Columns(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Copy _
            Destination:=Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")
End Sub
And if the data is actually hidden by filter (rather than just hidden),
Code:
Sub SetFilteredRange()
    ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Offset(1).Columns(1).Copy _
            Destination:=Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("A1")
End Sub
