Grammar
is in progress/on the way
I have completed 50 pages typing and 51th page is in progress.
I have completed feeding data for 50 records and 51th record is in progress/is in the way.
I have completed 50 files and 51th file is in progress/on the way.
Please correct my sentences.

The biggest error is that 51 will be followed by "st" instead of "th". You can tell because you would say it aloud "fifty-fir st ". Also, "50 pages" does not need an article (a/an, or the) because it is plural, so that is correct, however, "51st page" will need the definite article "the" because it is singular and specific.

- "In the way" means that it is an obstacle, "on the way" means it is in progress.

Thanks a lot and I got it.
Do you know any other word or phrase or idiom which is more colloquial than "on the way" or "is in progress" in the above context?

You could also use "in the works", but I think "on the way" is more common. "In progress" is probably the most formal of the three options.
