I don't want to count hidden cells

[CENorth7272]

Is there a way to count only the visible cells in a given range.

I don't know how to use VB so if that is the only way to accomplis
this task, could somebody please type up the code so I can use it in m
spreadsheet (if this would be too much work I understand)

Any help is appreciate

Hi

Have a look at the SUBTOTAL function in help (under SUBTOTAL worksheet
function). It might do the job for you, although I believe it only works
with AutoFiltered hidden rows.

Do a google search on "count visible cells only" and there should be many
macros
If you have excel 2003 there is a function called subtotal, previous
versions can us the subtotal to count visible
cells that are filtered but 2003 can do it with hidden rows as well

Interesting question. You would need a macro.

The hidden cells how are they hidden: i.e.
Filters, Hide Columns / Rows, Subtotals.
Plus I guess one might consider (not consider):
scroll area, print area
