Excel Formulas and Function


Performing Simple Calculations Using the Status Bar
 
If you need to see a simple calculation, such as a total, but do not need it to be a part of your spreadsheet, all you need is your Status Bar.  To open the Status Bar, make sure there is a checkmark next to the Status Bar option in the View menu.


 


Highlight the cells you wish to calculate and you will see the sum of the cells in the Status Bar at the bottom of the screen. 



If you want something other than the sum, right-click the formula in the Status Bar and choose a different calculation.
