This may help but it is limited as it advises if any filtered columns on a
worksheet are in action
Apply the formula to a cell outside the any of your filtered columns. A5:A45
is the sample so change to suit your range.
=IF(COUNTA(A5:A45)=SUBTOTAL(3,A5:A45),"NO","YES")
You can Conditional Format the cell to turn RED for "YES" and GREEN FOR "NO"

You can also get fancy to highlight the Excel filter in action advice blue
arrow (hard to see)
Use a cell next the YES/NO cell and give it a heading "LOOK FOR"
Format the cell with formula to Wingdings 3 with blue color font format to
produce the same arrow
=IF(COUNTA(A5:A45)=SUBTOTAL(3,A5:A45),"","q")
Have fun!
