Yes, Excel isn't quite wysiwig in this case (and for good reason,
though it can be inconvenient when doing what you are attempting).

You could copy the hand-written notes into Comments (or drag the lot
of them to be side-by-side in an adjacent column) to get rid of the
intervening rows.

Sorry not to be more helpful,

I am trying to copy a colume of data from a filtered list to a second

list has every other row blank for hand written notes.
