Default How do I count rows in a filtered list when using AutoFilter?
I found this old thread using Excel Help Search. The SUBTOTAL function works,
and I entered the formula directly below my data. It checks a single column
of data. When no filter is applied, the formula result is 130. If I filter on
Blanks in the column of interest, the result is zero. Why?

I want to use this as a means of indicating progress (viz. towards all cells
containing a value). But I would continually be using Show All to discover
how many blanks remain. Is there a better way?

If your filtered data (absent the header row) is in G2:G5, for example, then
=SUBTOTAL(3,G2:G5) will count the number of non-blanks in those cells which
passed the filter.

I have a database list in Excel spreadsheet and use the AutoFilter to look at
selected items. How can I count the number of rows with data that are
displayed when the worksheet is filtered, similar to SUBTOTAL does when a
column has numbers in it?
