how do you use macros?

RE: excel

Hi Camilla,
Thank you for your question;
In answer; A macro is a series of instructions that enables Excel to perform commands or actions for you. They are useful for complex or repetitive tasks that you perform regularly. Macros do not necessarily involve programming. The easiest way to create a macro is to have Excel record your actions then to store those actions as a macro. Actions can be any combination of mouse movements and click and keyboard strikes. Macros are very flexible and can be played back or modified at any time. To record a macro you would go to the main menu, choose Tools>Macro>Record New Macro ... give you Macro a meaningful name (no spaces) and then record your actions. Stop recording by pressing the Stop Recording button then follow the steps Tools>Macro>Macros find the name you gave and click Run. I hope that has helped Pete

Excel tip:

Counting Blanks

Some times you want to check if there are cells missing data in your range. You can use the COUNTBLANK FUNCTION to acheive this. It is =COUNTBLANK(Range). Note Cells with formulas that return "" (empty text) are also counted. Cells with zero values are not counted.
