Macros

what are the practical uses of macros?

RE: macros

Macros are best used when attached to buttons in order to carry out a task that is done in the same way very often.

For instance, if you have a list of data and every day you enter more data to the bottom of the list and then sort the list by name, you can create a macro to sort the data for you by clicking one button.

Excel tip:

Convert Text to Columns in Excel 2010

If you have a cell in your Excel spreadsheet that contains a lot of text and you want to divide it into separate columns, this can only be done if there is a logical character which separates the text, for example, a comma.

Select the cells you would like to convert. On the Data tab, click Text to Columns. Choose the format of your current data.

Select Delimited if the text contains a logical character otherwise select Fixed Width if there are a certain number of spaces between each field.

Click Next when a preview of the data appears. Then select the type of character that separates the various fields. If the character is not listed, select Other and enter the character.

Click Next again and then choose the format for each of the columns. Select the column heading in the Data preview and then select a data type from the Column data format options.

Click Finish and the text will appear in several columns.
