ms excel training london - Macros, pivotal table & chart

Hi Zewiditu,

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.

A pivot table is created from a large amount of data which has been prepared as a list. To create a Pivot Table from this list you must first select a cell from within the list, go to the Menu command, Data and Select the ladder option Pivot Table and Pivot Chart Report. Follow the steps in the Wizard, when the Pivot Table blank appears, drag and drop your fields as required onto the four areas and your Pivot Table will appear.

Please note this information is covered in our Advanced Excel Course and takes approx 45 minutes to explain in full

Have a go ! Good luck

Tracy
