Displaying the difference of two numbers
Hello, to find out sum of two numbers, quite often we select the two numbers, and look at the status bar to find out the summation. there is sometimes a requirement to find out difference as well...

Nothing there are about subtraction of two cells. I'm not surprised. There is no such function in Excel.
Caveat: A google search for "excel add functions to status bar" (without quotes) yields misleading direction (e.g. https://www.excelforum.com/excel-programming-vba-macros/395055-adding-a-new-function-to-values-in-the-status-bar.html ). They explain how to display the results of your own VBA code on the status bar. Not how to truly add a function to the menu of status bar operations.
