    Select cell A1.
    Press Ctrl-Shift-End to select the used range.
    Press F5 (Goto) | Special ... | Select (tick) Visible Cells Only | press OK
    Press Ctrl-C to copy
    Go to the target sheet/cell
    Press Ctrl-V (this will copy the values)

    You could press Paste Special and the effect will depend on what is in the source cells.
