Let us start the week with a simple formula (well, to be fair, let us start the week with a strong cup of coffee, then this formula).
Often when we have large data sets, we apply data filters to select and display only information we want to see.
Some of you know that whenever we apply filters on a dataset, we can look at status bar area to find out if any filter is applied on the current worksheet. It looks like this when filters are applied:
But, what if you need a way to show “filtering” status thru formulas?
Well, you can do that very easily by using two simple formulas called as COUNTA() and SUBTOTAL().
Here is how it works:
And the formula is, (assuming we want to test the range B4:B3000)
=IF(COUNTA(B4:B3000)>SUBTOTAL(3,B4:B3000), "list filtered ["&SUBTOTAL(3,B4:B3000)&" items]","Not filtered")
How does the formula work?
- We are asking excel to findout how many values are there in the range B4:B3000 using COUNTA() formula.
- Then we are asking excel to tell how many values are there after filter in the same range using SUBTOTAL() formula [introduction to excel SUBTOTAL formula].
- Now, if the first value is more than second, we knew that the list is filtered. So we are showing a message like,
- “List Filtered [x items]”.
What would you use this type of formula for?
I have used this type of formula in charts, dashboards where I need to tell whether source data is filtered or complete. What about you? Where would you use this type of formula?

Hi,
I downloaded this 2025 Calendar template. I checked the custom tab. Is it possible to change the weekend Fri & Sat.
Thanks
It is. Just use the option for fri & sat weekend (should be 7).
Activities of some dates are not getting displayed on "Any month" and "printable calendar" sheets.
e.g. Activity of 24 Apr 25.
Can you check again? The date in "planner" sheet should be a proper date. When I tested with 24-apr-2025, it works.
Love this calendar... I have highlight planner dates enabled but all dates are blue, is it possible to customize the color based on the type assigned to each date?
What would be the right way to add more Holidays in the Customizations?
Inserting rows in the Holiday List causes the blank cells in the calendar to turn Blue.
This is amazing!!! The best I've seen so far!! Is it possible to update it to consider a column for the final date? That way, if an event lasts more than one day, it repeats in the calendar
How do we change/insert the customization "Icon Options" ?
You can adjust these from the settings tab.
Is there anyway this can turn into an academic calendar (ie. start month is July and runs all the way through June of next year)?
Is there a way to make it something that is more than a day without having to add it to every day of that week.
