Counting Visible Rows After Autofilter in Excel

Typically when you use autofilter, the task bar at the bottom of your Excel workbook will say: “5 of 10 records found”. The five is your visible rows. In some situations the records found indicator will not be displayed on the indicator. This can happen when there are many complex formulas in your filtered results. There is a workaround to this.

You can place the subtotal function in your header row in this format:

=SUBTOTAL(2,B:B)

The 2 in the subtotal() function tells Excel to count the visible items in column B.

To count visible rows with text, use =SUBTOTAL(3,B:B)-1, the “-1″ removes the header from the count.
