In the Data tab the Clear icon will be visible when a filter has been applied somewhere in a sheet – see below.

When no filter is in place the Clear icon is greyed out.

When a filter is in place it may impact the range selected then you copy a range.

Pressing in sequence Alt A C will clear the filter.
