Excel - restore ability to highlight cells and tell me sum

[Guest]

Usually Excel lets you highlight a series of cells with numerical data and
will sum the numbers leaving the total in the task bar. I accidentally turned
it off and can't get it back on. I really need this feature. Re-installing
the software did not help

Failing that, right click on your status bar and see if you have a selected
an option other than sum, as some of them will cause nothing to appear
depending on what is selected.
