Try this (sorry if some terms does not match the original English ones, I'm
translating them back from Hungarian):
Choose level 2 of subtotal display (click on 2 of 1 2 3 in the top left
corner of the sheet)! You see subtotal rows only.
Edit/Jump (CTRL+G)/Advanced selection (bottom left button)/Current area
Leave selection unchanged!
Edit/Jump (CTRL+G)/Advanced selection (bottom left button)/Visible cells only
Copy and paste!

Stefi

Bernard thanks for the reply. I cut and pasted values only to a new
workbook. Total size....32K. So it did work. But if I do a copy of
visible lines only on a subtotal sheet does that not get rid of the
underlying data?

It was like Excel still thought that all 70,000 lines
were still on the worksheet.
