Select the exact range of cells you wish to filter before you apply your
filter.

All columns on a worksheet will be filtered when any one column is filtered.

The hidden rows are the entire row, not just the column(s) you select to filter
upon.

You can use a formula to calculate the row number. For example, in
column A, enter the following:
=SUBTOTAL(3,$B$2:B2)

where column B contains no blank cells.
Copy the formula down to the last row of data.

NOTE: Don't use this formula in conjunction with the Data>Subtotal
feature. When you choose to Remove Subtotals, it deletes the lines that
contain a Subtotal formula.
