Macro status bar
I assume that the macro contains one or more loops.
In such a loop, use code like this - the exact contents depend on your code of course.
Application.StatusBar = "Processing row " & r & " of 10000"
At the end of the macro, reset the status bar using
Application.StatusBar = False

Thanks for such a prompt reply! As I understand I need to paste this code to any loop in the code? I forgot to add that macro also stops screen updating. Will this bar be visible in such a case?
I attach one of my macro loop, another loops are very similar and have only different folder names.
Public Sub TEST_INV() Dim A As Integer Dim B As Integer Dim X As String Application.ScreenUpdating = False For A = 1 To 100 X = "STOCK" S = Sheet2.Range("A1").Value d = X & "_" & A B = ActiveCell.Column C = B - 1 E = B + 1 ChDir S & X Workbooks.Open Filename:= _ S & X & "\" & d & ".xlsm" Sheets("Sheet1").Select If Sheets("Sheet1").ProtectContents Then Sheets("Sheet1").Unprotect 'Sheets("Sheet1").Unprotect ActiveWindow.ActivateNext ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = _ "=SUMIF('[" & d & ".xlsm]Sheet1'!C1,RC[-" & C & "],'[" & d & ".xlsm]Sheet1'!C6)" Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range(Cells(3, B), Cells(6356, B)) Range(Cells(3, B), Cells(6356, B)).Select Windows(d & ".xlsm").Activate ActiveWindow.Close SaveChanges:=False 'ActiveWorkbook.Save Cells(3, E).Select Next A Application.ScreenUpdating = True- HansVogelaarOct 14, 2022MVP
If you have separate loops: yes, in every loop.
If you have nested loops: in the deepest loop, or if that is unwieldy, in the next outer one.
The status bar should still be updated when ScreenUpdating is set to False, but depending on what's happening in your loops, it might be intermittent. It helps to add a line
DoEvents
in the loops, but that slows down execution too - you'll have to find a compromise.

I followed your advices and it works, status bar is being updated even after Screen updating on false.
Thanks a lot for your help! 🙂
