If you want to paste a sngle value down the rows, paste into the top cell,
copy from this cell, highlight to the bottom and paste.

If you are trying to past a group of cells, it won't work in a filter. I
would suggest alternately using Data - Sort to put the data in the required
order if at all possible.
