I found a workaround on the Mac (2017).
1. Edit > Select All (or just the row range you are concerned about).
2. Edit > Find > Go To… > Special
3. [Tick] Visible Cells Only
4. OK
5. Edit > Copy
6. Paste into a new Excel document
The hidden cells will not be in the new document.
Clunky but it works.
Brilliant thanks!
