Macro's in excel

I was wondering if anyone has any good practical applications for making macro buttons, as I am finding it hard to think of where I might use them

RE: Macro's in excel

Hi John

Macro buttons are created in a workbook to run specific macros. They are used as a short cut so that the user doesn't need to go into the menus to run a macro.

So if you have a macro that imports data into a worksheet, formats it and calculates sections of it, you could have a button or group of buttons on the worksheet that would run the relevant section everytime you clicked them

Hope this helps

Carlos

Excel tip:

Sorting data stored in rows

Primarily Excel is set up to sort data that is stored in columns rather than rows.

It is possible to get Excel to sort data stored in rows however.

Click in the row you want to sort, or select the cells in the rows you wish to sort.

Go to Data - Sort, then go to the Options button in the bottom left corner of the Sort dialogue box.
