Hi, I used to be able to see the total number of instances in the bottom left
of my screen when I had sorted a column using autofilter. This display seems
to have disappeared and I can not figure out how to get it back - anyone able
to help?

Many thanks

When your list has many formulas, or if a cell in the list is changed
after an AutoFilter has been applied, the Status Bar may show "Filter
Mode" instead of a count of the visible records.

The following MSKB article has information:

And there are a couple of workarounds he

This did work, however, I do not have any formulas in my row at all, just
pure text!

Thanks : )
