If you don't see the Status Bar......

From the Excel main menu:
<tools<options<view tab
Check: Status Bar

Then....Right-Click on the Status Bar to view the calculation options
(None, Average, Count, etc)

Choose the function you want
Done!

Does that help?

I could use help on the Status Bar Configuration -- especially the area where
totals are provided (average, etc.)

Select numbers in teh worksheet. Then in the status bar you can see their
total, average, or other results depending on choice in Status Bar
Configuration. I find nothing in Help relating to the Status Bar
Configuration.
