Count if formula does not update with autofilter

[Julia77]

This was posted by someone earlier but I could not see the reply to this problem which is similar to mine:

I have an athletic spreadsheet displaying the name and result of a particular match. I want to be able to Auto Filter the names to easily read the results. That's easy... The Auto Filter just simply "hides" the others names when I choose a particular athlete so when I do a COUNTIF, it counts every name rather than the filtered name. Is there a secret COUNTIF IF statement that I can embed?

Please help.
