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.

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 can see this information, but the Status Bar Configuration (the name at the
top of the menu) is a new menu to 2007 with lots more on it than the
calculations. There is nothing in Help explaining it or the many items
located on it.

So, why is it here? What does it do (in addition to add, subtract, etc.),
and what value is it to the user?

Thanks

Sorry I couldn't be more help.
