You can't copy the AutoFilter dropdown list, but you can use an Advanced
Filter to extract the unique values from a list. There are instructions

When I follow those instuctions I get an error message that says "You can
only copy filtered data to an active spreadsheet". I thought I was filtering
the data using the steps in the instructions. What am I doing wrong?

That worked but that is not what the instructions say. the instructions say
"Select a
cell in the database" thanks.

No it doesn't, nowhere in your previous post did you indicate that you were
filtering to another sheet, you can just see the instructions for the next
example

"Extract Data to Another Worksheet

If the database is on Sheet1 and you would like to extract data to Sheet2:

Go to Sheet 2 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<============================= ==
Select a cell in an unused part of the sheet (cell C4 in this example).
From the Data menu, choose Filter, Advanced Filter. "
