B). Status Bar in MS-Excel:
The Status bar is at the bottom of the Excel spreadsheet and provides
useful information from the Excel software or issued from a running macro. It
displays, on the left side various modes like Ready Or Edit mode. It also shows
status of num lock, caps lock and scroll lock keys on the keyboard on the right
side. If missing it can
be restored on Tools --> View. The status bar provides a convenient
method of summing a range of cells (SUM not included for a single cell).
SUM will not be shown unless at least one of the cells is numeric and at least
a second cell has content (not ISBLANK). Some of the other indications
are for keys depressed. It also do some math’s function like min, max, count,
avg etc. Here is screen shot of status bar.
