Notes:

1) When a filter is active in range B3:B15, to count the number of visible rows, you can apply this formula:

=SUBTOTAL(3,B3:B15)

2) For a range contains manually hiding rows rather than applying auto filter, to count only visible rows, you can apply this formula:

=SUBTOTAL(103,B3:B15)

How this formula works?

=SUBTOTAL(3,B3:B15)

The SUBTOTAL function is useful for ignoring hidden items in a filtered list or table. It can be used for performing different calculation such as average, count, max and so on.
