Macros

Why?

RE: Macros - Reason!!

Dear Esther

Thank you for attending Excel Advanced course. I hope that it was beneficial to you.

I am not sure what your question implies but I assume you meant that why do we need to record macros.

The main reason for creating Macros is when you find yourself performing repetitive tasks and want to automate them. Typical examples could be that every time you open a new workbook you have to always change the page setup to landscape and change the margins to specific measurements.

It is advisable to record group of actions as macros that are related. You can even create a Macro using VBA which can have customised function.

Excel tip:

How to select certain data in an Excel 2010 workbook

If you want to select the correct data set in a page full of data, the most accurate and efficient way of doing this is to use the ''Shift and Click'' technique.

For example: If you want to select all data in cells A2 to E10, then click on cell A2, hold down the Shift key and click on cell E10 and all the data you want to see is highlighted.

Keep holding down the Shift key and you can move from cell E10 to any other cell in the spreadsheet.
