You could create a macro that would loop through the rows/cells and check the
columnwidth/rowheight. Then write the values out to that text file.

If you want to do that, you may want to review some code that other's have
written:

Chip Pearson's:

J.E. McGimpsey's:

Earl Kiosterud's Text Write program:

(or directly: http://www.smokeylake.com/excel/text_write_program.htm)

But I think I'd record a macro when I applied the filter and did that stuff
manually. If you need help, post back with what you've tried and I'm sure
someone will jump in to help.

I was actually wanting to use a filter to gain the row of information I need
and export them to the text file using a button with a macro attached if it's
possible.

How do I export only the visible cells, not the hidden ones, in an Excel
