See #86027.

On the right we have:
Rows: rows / total rows | Columns: col / total_cols
(e.g., Rows: 2 / 10 | Columns: 3 / 15)

Less important:

Here I go with a dissenting opinion again...

I was going to post this in the patch, but in the interest of staying on topic there I'll put it here. I'm heading in a similar vein as @brecht's feedback (an mine) on the initial design.
Mainly, surrounding the actual data with UI regions on all four sides just feels like too much to me. The footer specifically feels more unnecessary than the others.

The row name would always be displayed by the "on top" index column.
Similarly, the column name is always displayed
I'm not sure of the purpose of always seeing the total number of columns.
Other data can be displayed differently-- the full value with precision controls, tooltips, the data type with a tooltip, etc.
The number of filtered columns is indeed a bit harder to display without a status bar, but there are other places to put the information.

So be it if we move forward with this design anyway, I just wanted to write this down.

Moving this to done, but poked Jacques via chat that we need comma separator for thousands/millions
