Twist on the same error message. I have a spreadsheet using approximately
630k cells. It has been the same relative size for several months. This
week after I apply one or two filters I get this error when simply trying to
use find/replace.

Hi,

When you filter data there is a limit to the number of discontinuous
selections that Excel can handle. One solution is to sort the data so that
like items are grouped adjacent. Then apply the filter and copy.
Alternatively, you can select half of the filtered data and copy it, then
select the other half and do it again.

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

I am trying to copy/paste the filtered (subtotals) on my worksheet of about
17,000 rows. I do this every week. Unfortunately, I am getting the following
error now:

Microsoft Office Excel cannot create or use the data range reference because
it is too complex. Try one or more of the following:

- Use data that can be selected in one contiguous rectangle.
- Use data from the same sheet.

Both of the above apply to my selection. Any help? Thanks.
Tony.
