Simple Excel macros

how do you start a macro and when are they used? can you give an example of a simple macro?

RE: macros

Hi Divya,

If you perform a task repeatedly in Microsoft Excel, you can automate the task with a macro. A macro is a series of commands and functions that are stored and can be run whenever you need to perform the task.

For example, if there is a seris of calculations or formatting that are regularly carried out manually this could be automated as a macro

When you record a macro, Excel stores information about each step you take as you perform a series of commands. You then run the macro to repeat, or "play back," the commands.

Macros are created from the Tools > Macros > Macro menu options

Hope this helps


 

Excel tip:

Rotating Text in an Excel 2010 Worksheet

Maybe you want to draw attention to certain text or you just simply want to make your worksheet look more exciting!

One of the things you might consider is, rotating the text in a particular cell or set of cells.

1) Select a cell you would like to rotate
2) Click the ''Home'' tab in the Ribbon
3) Click ''orientation'' in the ''Alignment'' section
4) A pop up menu will appear with a few choices, if you want to decide yourself how many degrees to rotate the text, then click ''Format Cell Alignment.''
