The StatusBar uses the formatter of the active cell to display the text. It displays the value of the active cell along with its formatter. For example, If the active cell has a NumberCellType with DecimalPlaces set to 3, then in the StatusBar it will display the value with three decimal places.

The following options are available in the status bar.

Count	This option displays the number of selected cells.
Minimum	This option displays the minimum numerical value in the selected cells.

Zoom (100%)	This option displays the zoom level. Select the zoom percentage to display a dialog that allows you to set additional magnification options.
