what are the practical uses of macros?

RE: macros

Macros are best used when attached to buttons in order to carry out a task that is done in the same way very often.

For instance, if you have a list of data and every day you enter more data to the bottom of the list and then sort the list by name, you can create a macro to sort the data for you by clicking one button.

Excel tip:

Quickly insert a function

In Excel 97 and 2000 it was known as the Paste Function dialog box, these days it's known as the Insert Function dialog box. Regardless, one has to choose Insert|Function. or the fx button to open it up. There is, however, a non-mousey way to get hold of the Insert Function dialog box: press Shift+F3 in a blank cell to open the Insert Function dialog.

Press Shift+F3 after a function name and open bracket to open the Function Arguments dialog. For example, type =VLOOKUP( into a cell and press Shift+F3 to obtain a detailed description of VLOOKUP's arguments.
