row count in status bar

As noted by others, no excel does not include those options for the status bar.  I also wish they would and you can send a suggestion using the HELP -> Feedback button or from the excel feedback forum

and in fact went there and did a search that suggestion is already there so I suggest you go there, register if needed and up-vote that suggestion:

On another note, in case you didn't know already you can get that information when highlighting areas from the pop-up that shows to the bottom right of the area:

however, i'm not positive how to get that pop-up to show.  It appears the range needs to be 'big enough' and go 'off the screen' to force the sheet to scroll, but once it shows up you can reduce the size and the pop-up will stay and show you the rows and columns on smaller areas.
