Lost my calculation progress indicator in Excel 2003

[mizterbusy]

Hi,

I was hoping someone could help me.

I’m using Microsoft Exel 2003 and I don’t see the calculation progress meter down in the bottom task bar any more.

It used to show how far Excel had gotten in calculating all formulas in the sheet ie. “Calculating: 23%” for example when you hit the “F9” key, but now this does not appear.

Can anyone please tell me how to get this back?

Many thanks for any help.

Regards,

Kim

Go to Tools, Options.
Click the View tab.

Is Task Bar ticked?

still have the prob.

Thanks for your help but I'm not exactly sure what you mean...

If you mean "Startup Task Pane" - it was not ticked but is now without fixing the problem.

If you meant "Windows in taskbar" - it was already ticked.

I still have the problem. Any other ideas would be great.

Thanks

Sorry, it should read "Status bar". Just to the left of "Windows in taskbar". I also have MS Excel 2003.

Yes, that is ticked so I'm really confused.
