Question : Progress Indicator for calculations

I have a workbook containing multiple sheets.
Some of the calculations performed, due to the amount of data stored, can be quite lengthy. Whilst the calculation progress is indictaed at the bottom left hand corner of the screen by way of percentage, i was wondering if there wre any clearer way of passing this info on to the user such as the typical blue line in a dialogue box.

My problem is that users often halt the calaculation process by clicking thinking that the pc has just stalled !

Any help would be appreciated.


Answer : Progress Indicator for calculations

Progress indicators work best when you can update on a regular basis - ie such as every 100 iterations of a 10,000 loop process

With your code I'd just use the Application.StatusBar technique whenever there was a gap in the code

You should also consider using
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
at the start of your code and
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
at the end to speed it up
