microsoft office excel cannot create or use the data range reference because it is too complex
use data that can be selected in one contiguous rectangle.
use data from the same sheet

Looks like it’s the filter that’s to blame.
You need some code to loop through the rows to copy just the visible ones to another worksheet, then copy the range from there.
Something like this should do :
Sub CopyFiltered()
Dim wsFrom As Worksheet
Dim wsTo As Worksheet
Dim rngA As Range
Dim rngCell As Range
Dim lngNextRow As Long
Set wsFrom = Sheets(“Sheet1”)
Set wsTo = Sheets(“Sheet2”)
wsTo.UsedRange.Clear
lngNextRow = wsTo.Range(“a65536”).End(x
Set rngA = Intersect(wsFrom.[A:A], wsFrom.UsedRange)
For Each rngCell In rngA.SpecialCells(xlCellTy
wsFrom.Rows(rngCell.Row).C
wsTo.Rows(lngNextRow).Past
lngNextRow = lngNextRow + 1
Next rngCell
End Sub
