VBA for Status Bar

Using the status bar in Excel to show progress can be a helpful way to keep
track of lengthy tasks. Below is an example VBA script that demonstrates
how to use the status bar to display progress updates:

### Example VBA Script for Status Bar Progress

```vba

Sub StatusBarProgress()

Dim i As Long, j As Long

Dim lastRow As Long

Dim ws As Worksheet

' Set your worksheet

Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet1")

' Determine the last row with data

lastRow = ws.Cells(ws.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

' Initialize the status bar

Application.StatusBar = "Initializing progress..."

' Perform the main task

For i = 1 To lastRow

' Simulate a time-consuming task

For j = 1 To 10000

DoEvents
Next j

' Update the status bar with the progress percentage

Application.StatusBar = "Processing row " & i & " of " & lastRow & " (" &
Format(i / lastRow, "0%") & ")"

Next i

' Clear the status bar

Application.StatusBar = False

MsgBox "Process completed successfully!"

End Sub

```

### How It Works

1. **Initialize the Status Bar**: The status bar is initialized with a message
indicating that the process is starting.

2. **Perform the Main Task**: The script loops through each row in the
worksheet and simulates a time-consuming task (which you can replace with
your actual task).

3. **Update the Status Bar**: The status bar is updated with the progress
percentage after processing each row.

4. **Clear the Status Bar**: Once the task is complete, the status bar is
cleared.

### How to Use the Script

1. Open Excel and press `Alt + F11` to open the VBA editor.
2. Go to `Insert` > `Module` to create a new module.

3. Copy and paste the above script into the module.

4. Close the VBA editor.

5. Press `Alt + F8`, select `StatusBarProgress`, and click "Run".

This script will display the progress of the task in the status bar at the
bottom of the Excel window, providing a visual indication of how much of the
task has been completed.

Feel free to adjust the script to fit your specific requirements. If you need
