This would be a great tool but it deletes the header row. I have about 50 columns of data so adding back the header row is not an option. Hopefully there will be a fix for this soon. Otherwise, nice feature but only if you have a few columns and can retype the header row.
Thanks. That is really helpful. I tried it and it worked a treat. However, initially I tried it on data that was formatted as a table. It wouldn't let me do this if the data is a table. Do you know of a way of doing the same thing when the data is a table?
what if the filtered rows are too many like around 50k?
when I used visible cells only it took time for the data to update, based on my experience it took around 10-20mins
Very nice.
great, thank you!!!
