I want to have a formula in a cell, return the number of visible records
after I apply an AutoFilter. In other words, I want to return the same value
that I see in the Status bar after I apply the auto filter.

There are multiple columns in the data table. The AutoFilter will be
performed on different combinations of columns. Data cells contain blanks,
Text and numbers.

I am assuming the solution would be to apply a function or custom function
to one of the columns and have it count all visible cells, including blanks
and cells containing text or numbers.

I can't find a function to do this.
SubTotal(3,Range) doesn't count blanks which would occur if I AutoFiltered
on a different column than the column that is being counted.
COUNTBLANK includes invisible cells in the count.

In a nutshell, I need a function or custom function to count all visible
cells in a column: blank, numeric or text.

or

Count the number of AutoFiltered records. Same result

Thanks for any help
