It only seems to do this when there is a subtotal formula in column A. XL is
excluding the last row from the filtered list. Constants or other formulae
don't appear to cause a problem. Perhaps XL is assuming this last row is
subtotaling the list and s/b left visible after the filter is applied and is
not part of the actual data (due to there being a subtotal formula).

Hi Biff

I see what you mean.
I have other data in columns, and selected columns B:D before applying
Autofilter, so A wasn't included.
When I include A, I get the same result as you.

I have no explanation for this, and don't have time to investigate
tonight, but if I come up with anything tomorrow, I will post back.

Hmmm...

Here's what I get when column A (the formula column) is included in the
filter:

Hi Biff

Comes out as 1 2 in both cases for me, with either 2 yes's showing or 2
no's.

Also, don't include the numbered list in the filter.

Try this:

A1 = header = Count
B1 = header = Answer

B2:B5 = yes,no,yes,no

A2 = formula: =SUBTOTAL(3,B$2:B2) copied down to A5

Select B1 and apply the filter. Excel automatically includes column A
in the filter. Filter on "yes" in the Answer column. See what happens?
The last "no" is included in the filter.

Now, "show all", remove the filter. Reapply the filter selecting *only*
column B. Filter on "yes". See the difference?

Why does that happen?

Also if for some reason she would filter on blanks it won't work

Louise,

I should have stressed that you need to have all cells showing (the
list unfiltered, or use show all) prior to entering and copying the
formula.

Louise,

Use this formula in cell A2:

=SUBTOTAL(3,$B$2:B2)

and copy down to match your list. It will update when filtered to
always show a correctly numbered list.

Hi all

I have a large worksheet and have set an AutoFilter on the data, to
display
the information I need, however, I now need to insert a new column
(A) and
number the entries on the filtered list as 1, 2, 3 etc.

When I enter 1 and 2, highlight them both and drag down, it doesn't
fill in
with 3, 4 etc. it gives me a list of 1's. I am presuming this is
because it
recognises the list is filtered.

Is there any way I can auto-number this filtered list?

THank you.
Louise
