I have an Excel workbook with a lot of rows in it. I filter it using the values of one column and then I want to save the filtered results to a CSV file. When I do "Save as..." I get all the rows. I can copy paste the filtered results to another sheet and save from there but I'd rather not. It's Excel 2003 primarily.

AFAIK, it may not be possible until if we write some macro. – TuxGeek Nov 5 '09 at 10:03
Install ASAP Utilities and you can do "Remove Hidden Rows" before you save the spreadsheet. – ta.speot.is Mar 29 '10 at 10:05

Use an advanced filter to filter and paste the results as values into a new worksheet in one go which at least saves a step and is probably more reproducable in fewer clicks every time after the first. You can also select only the columns you want and in any order.

Debra's site is probably the best resource for examples on this:

CSV format will not save formatting, formulas or filtering, as you have discovered. You must either, only copy what you want to save to a new sheet and save it as CSV or save to an excel format.
