numbering filtered rows

But don't use this technique in conjunction with the Data>Subtotals
command, or it may delete all the rows in your table!

I'm confused...

How would this delete any of the rows?

When you remove the Subtotals (Data>Subtotals, Remove All), every row in
the table that contains a Subtotal formula is deleted, including
Subtotal formulas that were manually inserted.

And there's no Undo. You can close the file without saving the changes,
which is okay, unless you've made lots of other changes, and hadn't
saved them.
