Macros

Can you create a macro for all functions you may use?

RE: Macros - Functions!!

Dear Sally

Thank you for attending Excel 2007 Intermediate/Advanced course!! I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.
Macro can be created NOT ONLY for Functions BUT ANY group of tasks that you repeatedly perform!! For example if you find yourself changing the formatting of certain cells to currency with zero decimal places and any negative numbers in red, Bold and center justified. All these actions can be recorded as one macro command and can be performed with a click of a button if you assign the macro to a button on the Quick Access Toolbar!!

Coming to your original question Yes any function can be recorded as a macro. This is particularly helpful if the spreadsheet is going to be used y someone who has no understanding of formulae/functions!! Or if that function is very complicated and needs to be entered in various location in the same worksheet or different worksheet. Please always remember to press the relative button so the cells change accordingly when the macro is applied to different cells
I hope this has answered your query.

If this has answered your query then I would request you to please mark the question as resolved!! If not and you have a specific question related to this then please post it as a new question and we should be able to provide you the solution for it!!

Kindest Regards

Excel tip:

Convert Text to Columns in Excel 2010

If you have a cell in your Excel spreadsheet that contains a lot of text and you want to divide it into separate columns, this can only be done if there is a logical character which separates the text, for example, a comma.

Select the cells you would like to convert. On the Data tab, click Text to Columns. Choose the format of your current data.

Select Delimited if the text contains a logical character otherwise select Fixed Width if there are a certain number of spaces between each field.

Click Next when a preview of the data appears. Then select the type of character that separates the various fields. If the character is not listed, select Other and enter the character.

Click Next again and then choose the format for each of the columns. Select the column heading in the Data preview and then select a data type from the Column data format options.

Click Finish and the text will appear in several columns.
