copy and paste problem Excel 2007

I have a large file of 200,000 lines items. I am trying to copy 26,000
filtered items to another spreadsheet. I cannot copy and paste the visible
lines. Get "too complex". I've followed the copy and paste rules and
still don't work. Only option I have is to copy small selections and then
paste. But I shouldn't have to do that. Anybody have a suggestion or
solution?

Maybe as follows:
Save the workbook with another name
In the second workbook, sort the worksheet using the same rules as the filer
Delete unwanted row

Bernard,
Thank you very much. I just spoke with another Excel User and that is what
they recommended. Basically, the same problem, either copy and paste, or
delete, in small increments.

I was told the problem isn't the number of rows, but the number of
non-contiguous rows. If the selected parts could be arranged to the top,
then it would work. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get them there.

I am stuck with copy and pasting small amounts.

Thank you very much for your time and suggestion.

Regards,
