Status Bar not showing
I'm sorry for you, but the status bar simply doesn't work that way. It counts only filled cells, not selected cells.
All those options are only displayed if you have selected multiple cells of which at least two are not empty.
HansVogelaar - it only counts cells that have something in them. It will not count empty cells at all even if I select 1 empty and 4 or more cells with text/numbers. I will only get a count of the cells with an entry. I need to create coloured patterns in excel, they don't have text in them. I need to count cells that have a fill colour. Instead now I have to select every cell in the sheet, put a 0 in it, and make the text white. I wish I could just select empty cells and have them count at the bottom.
