I know that the status bar indicates what percentage of cells have been
calculated. We have a couple of very large spreadsheets, however, that can
take 20-30 minutes to recalculate. Is it possible to use VBA to show
graphically what the status bar shows in tiny print? Several of our users
have complained that they want progress to be clearly and largely
displayed--apparently looking at the staus bar is too hard.

I see lots of progress meters out there for monitoring the progress of a
running macro, but nothing that shows the progress of non-VBA-based
calculation. Is this even possible?
