What is a macro?

RE: Macros

You can record an action that you complete and then assign it to a button for example. Then each time you press the button it will complete that action. For example if i have lots of tabs in a sheet and i want to create a menu tab then i would record a macro and click onto the tab that i want to open. I'd then stop the macro. I would then create a button on the menu sheet and assign that macro to it. This would mean every time the button is click, that tab would open. You can use them to perform lots of different things in excel. So it records key strokes and actions. This is a macro in its simplest form. More advanced macros can do all sorts of things and usually require VBA code.


 

Excel tip:

How to Remove Duplication's from a selection of data in an Excel 2010 Worksheet

It would take far too much time to scan through rows and rows of data to find and remove duplicate data. So, here's how to do this using a much more efficient method:-

1) Select the data that might contain duplication's
2) Click the ''Data'' tab
3) Go to ''Data Tools'' and click ''Remove Duplicates''
4) A box will appear. Tick the boxes of the columns that you want to use to check for duplicates. Finally, click ''OK.''
