Dear Board,

I have written a code (below) that loops through all Excel files ("wbT") in a folder and performs a few tasks (using a "Main Code").

The "Main Code" is performed on each file in the folder one at a time. In other words, a file is opened, tasks are performed, the file is saved/closed, then the next file is opened and so on, until there are no more files in the folder.

The files in the folder can change quantity depending on if a new file is manually added or an old file is manually removed.

Because the quantity of files is not fixed, a "count" has been added. Its value can be found in "A5" of "Sheet1" of the main workbook ("wbM" houses the code).

I want to know the progress of this macro in the Status Bar. For example, "Processed x of y files. z % complete."

I figure if there are 5 files ("y") in the folder, for example, then every iteration through the "Main Loop" could be 1/5 or 20% (z) progress. If 4 files are complete, then the Status Bar could read, "Processed 4 of 5 files. 80% complete."

I've researched the internet for similar cases, but cannot figure this out.

I believe the solution is related to a "For/Next" loop, but I'm not sure how to write it or where it is to be located within (or around) the "Main Loop."

Any help or guidance is much appreciated!


Sub STATUSBARPROGRESS_LOOPINDEFINITEFILESINFOLDER()
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Application.DisplayStatusBar = True


'Setup Variables
Dim folderPathP As String
Dim filenameP As String
Dim wbT As Workbook
Dim wbM As ThisWorkbook
Set wbM = Workbooks("MacroStatusBarProgress.xlsm")

'Define Folder
folderPathP = "C:\Users\Daniel\Desktop\Templates\" 'change to suit
If Right(folderPathP, 1) <> "\" Then folderPathP = folderPathP + "\"

'Define Filename
filenameP = Dir(folderPathP & "*.xlsm")

'Count Files for StatusBar Progress
Do While filenameP <> ""
Dim Count As Integer
Count = Count + 1
filenameP = Dir()
Loop
wbM.Sheets("sheet1").Range("A5").Value = Count

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

'Create Loop for multiple Files
Do While filenameP <> ""

'Open Each File in Folder
Set wbT = Workbooks.Open(folderPathP & filenameP)

'MAIN CODE GOES HERE


'Close File
wbT.Close True


'Complete/End Loop
filenameP = Dir

Loop

End Sub

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
