Rows hidden by Autofilter vs hidden by changing the Hidden property

[LEO@KCC]

Hi, does anyone know how to determine if a Row is currently hidden by an
autofilter? If a row is hidden (by an autofilter or by changing the
EntireRow.Hidden property to True), the Hidden property of the EntireRow
returns True. Therefore the Hidden property cannot be used to determine if
the row has been hidden by an autofilter or not.

If a row is hidden by criteria of an AutoFilter, it does not function as
when hidden in other ways. This example demonstrates this:
An autofilter has a criteria applied- rows 3 and 4 are hidden as a result.
If you select Rows 2 to 5 and apply a specific formatting, the formatting
only is applied to the visible rows, i.e. 2 and 5, not 3 and 4.
If, on the other hand, you do Rows("3:4").hidden = true, then select Rows 2
to 5 and apply a specific formatting, the formatting is applied to both
visible and hidden rows, i.e. 2 to 5.

Is there a property that can tell me this "hidden level"?

Thank you very much.

You could check against the criteria of the filter.

Thanks Tom. Unfortunately that will not work.

I need to cycle through rows/ranges and determine how they have are hidden.
The rows that are below the autofiltered rows have nothing to do with the
autofilter or its criteria.

and for those, you can determine the extent of the autofilter.

set r = Activesheet.Autofilter.Range
lastrowoffilter = r(r.count).row

if cell.row > lastrowoffilter then
if cell.EntireRow.Hidden = True then
' not hidden by filter

Brilliant. Basically you are checking which cell (of the range I am
evaulating) belongs to the Autofilter.Range or not (and if it is hidden or
not). This offers a solution to my problem, thank you very much Tom.

Nevertheless, is there a property or condition that changes in a range
object when it has been hidden by the autofilter and that can be read
directly to determine the mode of "hiddenness" of such object?
