Macros

When setting up macros, is there any way to set up a bottom where you can click and run the macro? thank you, Cecilia

RE: Macros

Hi Cecilia

Thanks for getting in touch. You can assign a macro to all manner of objects in Excel. Most of the time you can find it by right-clicking and object and choosing Assign Macro, selecting your macro from the list and clicking OK.

For example, you can insert any of the drawing shapes from the Insert menu. Once drawn right click and follow the process above.

For a true button, you need to first enable the Developer toolbar (Office button, Excel Options, check the box marked "Show the Developer tab in the ribbon"). On the Developer toolbar, click Insert and click the command button. Draw it on your worksheet and right-click as above.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Converting an American date format to European using Formula

Excel depending on your local setting will only pick up date values of the dd mmm yyyy oders as date type. If you import data from various sources including America their date order is different with data value in mmm dd yyyy, excel can only treat it as text indicated by left aligning it. To overcome this you have to do the the following.

1. Extract the date components mmm dd yyyy, by using the the Text functions LEFT, MID or RIGHT

2. Reorder dd mmm component and concatenate using "&" in the right order this will create a text string with the date in the right order it then needss to be converted to a value so excel can recognise it.

3. To convert to value encase in TEXT function.

4. Format to desired date format.
