Recording Macros

Is there a limit to how complex a macro can be ie can you record construction of pivot tables and the subsequent formatting of these pivot tables?

RE: Recording Macros

Hi Atia. Essentially, macros can be as complicated as you want them to be. The trick is to make the VBA code as "clean" and elegant as possible. You certainly can use macros to generate and reformat pivot tables, although ideally you need to do this within the Excel VBA environment itself as otherwise it can be extremely difficult just using the Macro recorder.

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Excel tip:

New to Excel 2010 - Sparklines!

Excel 2010 includes a new feature called Sparklines which are tiny charts that fit into a single cell and plot data in cells from the worksheet. There are a host of formatting and styles that can be applied to them and they are really quite interesting.

>insert
>sparklines
>Choose any style you want

You will be asked for the range and it will automatically select the cell your in to insert the sparklines.
