Question : STATUS BAR RESULTS NOT SHOWING.

1. I have opened a new blank Workbook, say "X".
2. I have then selected data from an HTML webpage showing quotes.
3. I Autoformatted all the cells of X to give it a uniform look.
4. I then formatted the cells for numbers.
5. I get the "Status Bar". ( On "View" also the "Status Bar" is checked ). On a left click on the "Status Bar" the menu shows up showing Sum, Average etc.
6. However, the results are not shown on the
" Status Bar".
7. I get the results alright on my other Workbooks and so all settings should be right.
8. Is it to do with the original HTML webpage ?
Cheers!!!

Hi Jamshed,

> Is it to do with the original HTML webpage ?

Most likely.  HTML pasted into Excel often comes in with some extraneous Char(160)s attached that need to be removed to get the numbers fixed.  Try this:

Sub RemoveChar160s()
    ActiveSheet.Cells.Replace What:=Chr(160), Replacement:="", LookAt:=xlPart
End Sub
