2007 Status Bar in Excel 2003

[Brennan]

I have Excel 2007 at home and like the new functionality in the status bar
where it will show sum, count, average etc. At work I only have 2003. Is
there a way to create that functionality in 2003 using VBA? I appreciate the
help.

Right-click in the area where the Sum etc should be. You get several options.

HI Niek,

Thanks for your reply. I would like for the status bar to show multiple
categories, not just the one category. So for example, I would like to
highlight some cells and see the count, sum and average, not just the sum.
Please let me know if there is a way to do this. Thanks

I don't think that can be done without VBA programming

Thanks Niek,

Any chance you know the VBA code for this? I am fairly comfortable with
VBA. Thanks

Try this in the ThisWorkbook. module (rt-click icon next to File, view code)

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Application.StatusBar = False
If TypeName(Selection) = "Range" Then
Workbook_SheetSelectionChange Sh, Selection
End If
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object, _
ByVal Target As Range)
Dim s As String
Dim wfn As WorksheetFunction
Set wfn = Application.WorksheetFunction
On Error GoTo errH:
If wfn.Count(Target) < 2 Then
s = ""
Else
s = "Sum=" & wfn.Sum(Target) & " " & _
"Avg=" & wfn.Average(Target) & " " & _
"Min=" & wfn.Min(Target) & " " & _
"Max=" & wfn.Max(Target) ' etc
End If
errH:
Application.StatusBar = s

End Sub

If some non-range object is selected the statusbar will not be cancelled.
If it does what you want you could put it in a class module that traps
application level events in an addin or your Personal.
