Diane
Do you want a running count (in some cell) or do you want to count the
number of occupied cells at some point in time, say when the workbook is
saved? Otto

Hi Diana,

you should distinguish between a filtered and unfiltered data set.

The formula
=TEXT(COUNTA(dynItemSet);"0000")&" / "&TEXT(SUBTOTAL
(3;dynItemSet);"0000")
gives you by COUNT a counter for the unfiltered, and by SUBTOTAL a
counter for the filtered data set.

Hope that helps, have fun
Cheers
Michael
