How can I use the * wildcard in this function
cells that begin with "CL".

You can't use wildcards in this function.

Try this:

=SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(B2:B100,ROW(B2:B100)-ROW(B2),0,1)),--(LEFT(B2:B100,2="CL"))

This will "COUNTIF" B2:B100 = "A" in a filtered list:

do anybody know, how to use "countif" with filtered lists?

the function subtotal does not allow conditions (e.g. "name")
the function countif does it, but it count hidden cells, too

thank you for your ideas

I have an excel spread sheet table that I filter. I would like to be
able
to
count the number of cells in the filtered data. Anyone know how to
do
this?
CountA returns the number of cells in the unfiltered data.
