filter status bar

[ric bergesio]

Hi, In the filter mode of a sheet, I cannot get the x of y
totals figure in the status bar when I choose something to
filter. It seems to do the calculation very fast then come
up "filter mode".
Thanks
Ric

When your list has many formulas, the Status Bar may show "Filter Mode"
instead of a count of the visible records. You can use the Subtotal
function to count the visible rows.

The following MSKB article has some information:

And a couple of workarounds:
