Status Bar

The status bar at the bottom of the Microsoft Excel window displays the current status of operations being performed on the open workbook, such as the progress as the workbook is saved.

It also includes the AutoCalculate feature, which displays a selected calculation for any range (or set) of cells you select, automatically. By default, it displays the sum of the values found in the cells.

You can select a different type of calculation by right-clicking the AutoCalculate feature in the status bar and selecting a different type of calculation from the menu.
