trying to count TRUE or FALSE values,
I had to remove the double quotes -
apparently Excel see's them as special values

TRUE and FALSE are special values in Excel. They're called Boolean values.
In Excel a Boolean TRUE and FALSE is different from a *text* entry of true
or false. If no special formatting has been applies a Boolean will appear in
the cell as all uppercase characters and centered in the cell.

It works for me, too! Thanks very much for your help!

Also one quick note for other people trying to count TRUE or FALSE values,
I
had to remove the double quotes - apparently Excel see's them as special
values, even though it doesn't seem to convert them to numbers (the way a
database does).
This worked for counting the number of TRUE's in a filtered list:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(B2:B100,ROW(B2:B100)-ROW(B2),0,1)),--(B2:B100=TRUE))

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

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

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.
