Changing Microsoft Excel Status Bar
Maybe for some reason we want to change our Microsoft Excel Status Bar, then this simple vba function will do the work for us.
The end result will look like this:

Ok, to do it, put this following code in ThisWorkbook code
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
'when workbook opened, change the status bar
Application.StatusBar = "Changing Excel Status Bar | excelvbamacro.com"
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
'remove status bar info before workbook closed
Application.StatusBar = False
End Sub
Now we can brag to our friends about our Excel status bar when we opened our Excel Workbook
