Excel Macros

When recording a macro can I open up seperate folders & Documents that links back to current worksheet?

RE: Excel Macros

Hi Ben, Thanks for the post. Yes you can record a macro which will open different documents, the macro will record your mouse clicks and key strokes and replay them when you call it up, however it may be useful as an alternative to create a Workspace icon which includes all the linked workbooks and then record a macro to open the workspace icon, which will simplify it considerably.


 

Excel tip:

Sum Up All the Values in A Column

If you want to quickly calculate the Summed values of all cells in a column in Excel 2003 normally you would use the SUM formula. (eg if you wanted to calculate the values in Column C rows 10 to 25) the formula would be:

=SUM(C10:C25)

However, if you keep adding values to column C you would keep having to modify the above SUM formula which can get quite annoying.

To get around this you can sum all the values in a column using the following formula:

=SUM(COLUMN:COLUMN)

Which, in our example, would be:

=SUM(C:C)

NOTE You cannot place this formula in column C, or else Excel 2003 will show a circular reference error.

The formula must be placed in any other column, EXCEPT the one being calculated.
