RE: How do I create a macro?

Hi Rebecca,

Thank you for using the forum,

To create a macro, simpy go in to the Tools menu and choose Macro > Record a new Macro. At this point you can give the Macro a meaningful name and then press OK. From that point onward the computer records what you do with your cursor so if you change the cell to bold, or font colour etc then press stop recording.

To then run the macro you use the same menu Tool>Macro>Macros and click the Macro you just created.

Macros are designed to automate long winded tasks and cut down the amount of keystrokes required.

Have a go ! Good luck

Tracy


 

Excel tip:

Autonumber in Excel

To create an autonumber field, can use the Offset() function.

In cell A1, enter the number 1.
Then in cell A2, enter this formula:

=OFFSET(A2,-1,0)+1

Then copy the formula from cell A2, down as far as you need.
