Copy & paste special under a filter
 
Why sometimes paste special under a filter only paste to the filtered rows,
but sometimes are pasted to all the unfiltered rows?

I bet it only ever pastes to the contiguous cells. But maybe you got lucky in
that all the visible cells were contiguous.

What do you mean by contiguous cells? Are the contiguous cells from the
filter or...?

Contiguous means touching.

So if you filtered and saw that rows 8-15 are visible and pasted 4 cells
starting in row 8, it would be pasted in 8, 9, 10, 11 (all visible).

If you filtered and saw rows 8, 10, 12, 14, ...
and copy|Pasted 4 rows starting in row 8, you'd still paste to rows 8, 9, 10, 11
(some visible and some not visible).
