Macro

My understanding of Macro is that it is used for tasks done on a regular basis and once locked cannot be changed. What if one want to make amendment to the daily task, does mean that one will have to create a new macro?

RE: Macro

Hi Sarah


Thank you for your question regarding Macros

The purpose of macros is to automate repetitive tasks, due to the nature of how they are created (recording of mouse clicks/keystrokes) these exact steps will be carried out when the macro is implemented.

If any amendments to the macro are needed you would either need to create a new macro for that or if you feel confident enough to delve into the VBA (Visual Basic) coding to edit the macro, this could be another option. Understanding the visual basic element to macros would give you far more flexibility on the implementation of macros in changeable tasks.

I have included a link below for the course outline of the Excel VBA course we deliver, this would give you the understanding required to manipulate your macros in a far more efficient manner

Excel tip:

Display Functions on Worksheets

Functions in Excel can be difficult to recall their format/syntax

For example, you want to use the =PMT function.

Enter =PMT, then select keystroke, CTRL+SHIFT+A.

This usful memory jog, will display the arguments of a function on a worksheet, allowing the user to proceed with the generation of the function
