Count Not Appearing when using AutoFilter?

[BBob]

On some spreadsheets, when I try to use AutoFilter to count the number of
records meeting certain parameters, the count will not display at the bottom.
Other times this functionality works fine. Is there a setting I need to
reconfigure?

When your list has many formulas, or if a cell in the list is changed
after a filter has been applied, the Status Bar may show "Filter Mode"
instead of a count of the visible records. 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:

Thanks for help! I could not find any guidance on this topic in the Excel
help files or on my initial search of the Microsoft site.
