What is the purpose of macro's, what are the benfits of using them and when is it needed on an excel file.

RE: Excel

Hi Shane, welcome to the forum, thank you for your post; the writing/editing and using of macros is covered comprehensively in our Excel Advanced and Excel VBA courses.
But to answer your question; a macro is a recording of mouse clicks and/or of keyboard entries which are recorded by Excel and played back (like a tape recording) whenever required, a macro is usually recorded to undertake mundane or repetitive tasks, either simple or complex, which saves continuously resolving the function manually.
I hope this has helped, if so please click the Resolved link, best regards Pete.

Excel tip:

Trace Dependents / Precedents without the blue arrows

Rather than using the toolbar you can press CTRL+] which is the equivelent of trace dependants and CTRL+[ for precendants. Both of these ways though will not show the blue arrows but jump to the cell containing the formula.
