Highlight the value you want to copy➡️Home

NOT WORKING ON NUMBERS !!!WORKS FINE ON TEXT

I should add that when I use the GO TO dialog box then SPECIAL and choose BLANKS, a message pops up and tells me there are no blanks even though there are. When I click on one of these "blank" cells there is nothing in the cell or in the display field up top where the cell contents also show.

Hello,
The “skip blanks” feature in the Paste Special dialog box does not work for me. I have a list of names in Column B and the person’s STATUS in column H. If the person has a PAID status in Column H, I used this formula to extract the name from Column B: =IF(H6="PAID",B6,"")

There are over 600 names with PAID and NONE statuses. The formula worked perfectly. Now I need to copy and paste those names into another column so only the values show.

I copied the names (which really are just the formula that produced the name) and used the Paste Special dialog box to paste that data into another column using the option to paste the values only. I checked the “skip blanks” option and hit OK.

The blanks appeared as well. I tried changing the formula to =IF(H6="PAID",B6," ") so there is a space between the two italics and that did not help. I tried =IF(H6="PAID",B6, ) just leaving the “if false” section completely blank and I got the same results.

I sorted the data which got rid of the blanks but now the names were out of order due to some cells containing Mr or Mrs or no title.

ANY HELP would be appreciated. I'm using MS Excel for Office 365.
Thanks in advance.
