Example 1  I have tried to use the progress bar in clean and trim macro . I have taken a range "a1:a10000" and  now i will clean and trim the range using vba and use progress bar to display the progress of task.

Here is the code

    Sub example_1()

    Dim rng As Range, i As Long, clnrng As Range

    

    Set clnrng = Range("a1:a10000")

    i = 0

        With Prog_bar

            'SET MIN value to 0

            .ProgressBar1.Min = 0

             'SET Max value equal to cells count

            .ProgressBar1.Max = clnrng.Cells.Count

            .Show vbModeless

        End With

        For Each rng In clnrng.Cells

            ' do clean and trim using vba

            rng.Value = Application.WorksheetFunction.Clean(Application.WorksheetFunction.Trim(rng.Value))

            i = i + 1

            'change the value of progress bar to show the progress using fill color

            Prog_bar.ProgressBar1.Value = i

            ' chnage the caption of user form to display the percentage of task completed

            Prog_bar.Caption = VBA.Format(i / Prog_bar.ProgressBar1.Max, "0%") & "  Complete"

            DoEvents ' DoEvents allows the UserForm to update.

        Next

    ' task finish unload progress bar

    Unload Prog_bar
