Why would you use a macro, and what do they do exactly?

RE: Macros

Hi Rachel

I hope you learnt a lot from your microsoft excel intermediate course.

A macro is basically just a set of intrusions that you can run by clicking a button. The purpose of a macro is that if you have a lot of repetitive tasks that you have to do on a regular basis, you can just record or code a macro. When the macro is recorded it can be run by clicking a button. So by using a macro you could save yourself a lot of time, by automating repetitive tasks.

Hope this helps

David

Excel tip:

##### displaying in Excel

When you get a series of hash symbols (####) appearing in some of your cells in a spreadsheet, this can make you think that you've make some kind of mistake.

This is a common misconception - what this actually means is that the cell is not wide enough to fully display the content of the cell.

All you need to do to see what is actually in the cell is to widen the column that the cell is in.
