Counting filtered non-blank cells that contain text

[anyoder]

I am currently using the formula =subtotal(102,"":"") to count non-blank cells that contain a numerical value.

When I try to use the same formula in cells that contain text I receive a "0".

Is it possible to count non-blank cells that contain text? The formula also needs to work when the column filter is on.

Please advise

Unless I'm missing something, SUBTOTAL(103,A1:A10) should work, as it does on my sample range of A1:A10.
