Advanced Excel

I didn`t really understand the utility of using scenario.
I also would like to know if with macro when I record the job, i actually refind it the next day on a new sheet

RE: Advanced Excel

Stefania - scenario is used to ask "what if" about the result of your data. As we practiced, we actually earned 20% last year, we would like to know what costs or income would need to change in order to increase our profit - we would use a scenario.


If you create a macro and store it in the workbook you are working in, it will only be available in that workbook. If you want Macros to be available in new and other workbooks, then when you create it you have the option to save it for all workbooks.

good luck

RE: Advanced Excel

I Julie,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I will continue to practice in order to understand better what we did together at the training course.

Excel tip:

Ctrl+d's double life

Suppose I have a formula in B1 that I wish to copy into B2:B10. I can select B1:B10 then press Ctrl+d to copy the formula down the selected range. Users generally ignore this shortcut in favour of double-clicking on the fill handle to copy down, but Ctrl+d is useful sometimes particularly when there is no data in surrounding columns to guide to how far the double-click method should copy formulae.

Ctrl+d has another use though. When I use the drawing toolbar to draw objects such as Text Boxes, Rectangles and Ovals onto a worksheet, Ctrl+d makes an instant duplicate of selected shapes. For example, I need five Text Boxes the same size. I draw one Text box and adjust it to the size I want, select it, then press Ctrl+d four times to get four identical copies.
