autofilter - how many in a group
 

I have autofilter on a column and there are about 100 separate groups.
Is there a quick and easy way of finding out how many members there are
of individual groups?
Thanks
Chris

Maybe you could use a pivottable and use Count as the operation.

Add a single row of headers (if you don't have them now)
Select the whole range
Data|Pivottable
follow the wizard until you get to the step with a Layout button.
Click that button
Drag the Group Header button to the row field
drag the Group header button to the data area
If you don't see "Count of", double click on it and choose count

And finish up the wizard.

If you want to read more about pivottables...

Here are a few links:
