To create and run a macro to count the number of rows remaining after you filter a list, use the steps in the following example:   Start Excel and create the following spreadsheet: A1: Last Name  B1:  First Name A2: Jones  B2:  Gary A3: Jones  B3:  Larry A4: Jones  B4:  Mary A5: Smith  B5:  Gary A6: Smith  B6:  Larry A7: Smith  B7:  Mary  Press ALT+F11 to start the Visual Basic editor. On the Insert menu, click Module.  In the module sheet, type the following code: Sub Count_Filtered_Rows Dim UpperLeftCorner As Range ' UpperLeftCorner should be set to the upper-left ' corner of the list range: Set UpperLeftCorner = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A1") rowcount = -1 For Each area In _ UpperLeftCorner.CurrentRegion.SpecialCells(xlVisible).Areas rowcount = rowcount + area.Rows.Count Next MsgBox rowcount End Sub  Press ALT+F11 to return to Excel. Select cells A1:B7.</li> On the Data menu, point to Filter, and then click AutoFilter.</li> Click the arrow in the "Last Name" data column.</li> Click Jones.

Note that only the three "Jones" names appear.</li> On the Tools menu, point to Macro, and then click Macros.</li> In the Macro name list, click Count_Filtered_Rows, and then click Run.

Note that a message box appears with the number "3" in it.</li></ol>
