How can we state what the macro is doing in the status bar?
Hi Irene, thanks for your query. The following line of code will allow you to display text on the Status bar:
Application.StatusBar = "Macro 1 is now working..."
Hope this helps,
Anthony

Want all the zeros in your worksheet to appear blank? Choose Tools/Options, Click on the View Tab, Deselect the Zero Values Option, Click OK.
Easy wasn't it? But be aware that these cells are not actually blank, they still contain the value zero. This is important because certain functions (ie AVERAGE) make a distinction between blank cells and those with a zero value.
