In excel i have filtered my spreadsheet to my desired results. Now i want to count a certain column for a total number. I can't just look at the last column entry number because since its filtered the line number jumps. Is there any way to select what i want the text i want to total up and display how many rows there are. Something like
=SUM(select rows),
but sum doesn't work for this case because i'm dealing with text, and i want the total number of rows.

It sounds like a countif is what you are looking for. Check out this Link for more information and examples.
Use COUNTIF, one of the statistical functions, to count the number of cells that meet a criterion; for example, to count the number of times a particular city appears in a customer list.
