Macros

Hi Julie, Welcome to the forum, I hope you enjoyed the Excel Advanced Course today, to answer your question; a macro is a recording of mouse clicks and/or of keyboard entries which are recorded by Excel and played back (like a tape recording) whenever required, a macro is usually recorded to undertake mundane or repetitive tasks, either simple or complex, which saves continuously resolving the function manually. So to bring all that lot together, if you have a task or a series of tasks which you have to complete in a particular sequence, record them as a macro, then you can play back the macro (run) it whenever you wish. Remember macros can be assigned to a button on your toolbar, a button on the worksheet, and keyboard commands can be set up to run macros as well. I hope that has shed a little more light, best regards Pete
