    cannot copy or delete due to complex

    Hi all, Im encountering a problem when I try to copy a database to another worksheet after applying an Auto filter on it I tried to copy it in many different ways. I dont know whats wrong this has never came up before the prompt Im getting is :

    Microsoft Excel cannot create or use the data range reference because it is too complex.

    I tried F5 /go to special/ visible cells , not working, thanks

    If someone can help me with this it would be heavily appreciated!

    its something to do with the number of discontiguos cells that excel can handle,well thats what google tells me.
    the advice is to sort your data by the column you are filtering on then reapply the filter and try again
