I'm doing an Excel app that needs a lot data updating from a database, so it takes time. I want to make a progress bar in a userform and it pops up when the data is updating. The bar I want is just a little blue bar moves right and left and repeats till the update is done, no percentage needed.
I know I should use the progressbar
control, but I tried for sometime, but can't make it.
EDIT: My problem is with the progressbar
control, I can't see the bar 'progress'. It just completes when the form pops up. I use a loop and DoEvent
but that isn't working. Plus, I want the process to run repeatedly, not just one time.
Sometimes a simple message in the status bar is enough:
This is very simple to implement:
Dim x As Integer
Dim MyTimer As Double
'Change this loop as needed.
For x = 1 To 50
' Do stuff
Application.StatusBar = "Progress: " & x & " of 50: " & Format(x / 50, "0%")
Next x
Application.StatusBar = False
