Two points...

1) The suggestion I made has a paren too many at the wrong place.
2) More important: The Subtotal bit should take not the range subject to
counting, rather a range where the filter is applied.

=SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(A5:A200,ROW(A5:A200)-ROW(A5),,1)),--(B5:B200=""))

where A5:A200 is object of filtering and B5:B200 object of counting.

This would yield a count of empty cells and formula-blanks.

=SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(A5:A200,ROW(A5:A200)-ROW(A5),,1)),--ISBLANK(B5:B200=))

This would yield a count of empty cells only.

ISBLANK ignores cells created with formulas like ="".

That doesn't work.........


If the cells are EMPTY, it does work if the cells have formula BLANKS.

Don't know whether the OP meant "blank" or empty.

How would you count EMPTY cells? I haven't been able to figure it out.

That doesn't work. Result = 0, unfiltered or filtered. I tried that
formula (along with many other variations) earlier.

Typo in the formula, one too many ")"

ROW(B5)),,1))

ROW(B5),,1))

Assuming that the secret column range is B5:B200...

=SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(B5:B200,ROW(B5:B2 00)-ROW(B5)),,1)),--(B5:B200=""))

Hi,

Is there a function to count blanks in a filtered column? That is, if
I filter a column to show the rows that are blank, can I use the
subtotal function (or some other) to count the number of blanks?

Thanks,
