Find the number of rows returned in a filter

[Guest]

I would like to filter a list and test for no match. For example

Sub FilterTest(market as string)

Excel.Application.Screenupdating = false
Excel.sheets("SS").visible = true
Excel.sheets("SS").select
Excel.sheets("SS").range("B10").select
Excel.Selection.AutoFilter
Excel.Selection.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="<>1*", Operator:=xlAnd, _
Criteria2:="<>*T"
Excel.Application.screenupdating = true
'now here is what I want to test
If (the filter retuns no visible records or rows) then
Msgbox "The "& market & " market does not meet this criteria.",vbOKOnly
end if

End sub

I am not sure of the proper syntax to count the number of visible
records(rows) in an Excel filter. Basically if the count is 0 then display
the message box.

Thanks for your help in advance!
Note: I use Excel. for each line because people open my excel files in
Internet Explorer (they use Xerox DocuShare or SharePoint). If you know a
better way to handle ScreenUpdating,DisplayAlerts and commandbars that would
be great. Initially I would receive an error from IE when trying to turn
on/off screenupdating and display alers.

After autofiler, use

ret = Application.WorksheetFunction.Subtotal(3, Range("A:A"))
MsgBox (ret)

Maybe this will give you some ideas:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()

Dim rngF As Range

With ActiveSheet.AutoFilter.Range
Set rngF = .Columns(1).Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible)
If rngF.Cells.Count = 1 Then
'only the header is visible
MsgBox "no details shown"
Else
MsgBox rngF.Cells.Count - 1 & " rows of data visible"
End If
End With
End Sub

And I try not to open any excel workbook within MSIE. If you want that:

Thanks! I'll have to read up on the Subtotal arguments. The solution works
great!

Thanks Dave but the solution will only solve that issue on my computer.
Hundreds of people view my data via DocuShare and SharePoint and I can't
control the settings on their computer. I also have to write code testing
their version of Excel( mainly 97 vs 2000 and beyond) since I load my
dropdown boxes with pivot tables and clear missing items before loading.
Thanks for the link!

Babs00 solution was also macro based. And if you have empty cells in that
range, you may find =subtotal(3,...) doesn't count all the visible cells--it
counts all the visible cells that have something in them.
