Introduction to Macro

When you find yourself repeatedly performing the same actions or tasks in your spreadsheets, it might be time for you to create a macro. A macro is a recording of each command and action you perform to complete a task. Then, whenever you need to carry out that task in your spreadsheets, you just run the macro instead.

Macros can be activate by a couple of keystrokes or by a worksheet button so they are easy to execute, and, provided they were recorded correctly, they will always carry out the same steps in the same order with no chance for operator error.

Although complex macros can be created in Excel using the Macro editor, it also possible to create relatively simple ones using the Excel macro recorder. If you are new to using macros in your spreadsheets, this is the right place for you to learn macros
