The result is 7, since there are 7 rows visible out of 10 rows total.
Count with SUBTOTAL
Following the example in the worksheet above, to count the number of non-blank rows visible when a filter is active, use a formula like this: The first argument, function_num, specifies count as the operation to be performed. SUBTOTAL ignores the 3 rows hidden by the filter and returns 7 as a result, since there are 7 rows visible. Note that SUBTOTAL always ignores values in cells that are hidden with a filter. Values in rows that have been “filtered out” are never included, regardless of function_num. If you are hiding rows manually (i.e. right-click > Hide), and not using filter controls , use this version of the formula instead: With the function_num set to 103, SUBTOTAL still performs a count, but this time it will ignore rows that are manually hidden, as well as those hidden with a filter. To be clear, values in rows that have been hidden with a filter are never included, regardless of function_num. The SUBTOTAL function can perform many other calculations.
