status bar shows "filter mode"

[Guest]

I'm using excel in office 2003 and find that when I use filter I get "filter
mode" instead of number of records. I do not have any formulas in the list
I'm filtering, it's just a simple list

The Status Bar may show 'Filter Mode' if a cell in the list is
changed, after a filter has been applied. You can use the Subtotal
function to count the visible rows.

The following MSKB article has information:

And there are a couple of workarounds here:
