Copy and paste only nonblank cells

Excel 365 2016 2013
Unfortunately, when you try to paste a series of cells with blank cells, Paste special with Skip blanks option doesn't seem to work.

One of the solutions is to use Filter:

   1.   Select of the cells including blank and non-blank cell that you wish to paste.

   2.   On the Home tab, in the Editing group, select Sort & Filter and then choose Filter (or click Ctrl+Shift+L):
