best training excel intermediate - What are Macros?

Hi Leon, Thank you for your first post, I hope you enjoyed the Excel course.
In answer to your question, Macro stands for MACROINSTRUCTION, this is a computer science term for a set of instructions that is represented in an abbreviated format.
Macros are used in Microsoft Office to run pre-recorded or written (see VBA - Visual Basic for Applications) commands which carry out repetitive tasks.
Macros can be stored for use in the current workbook, a new workbook or in the Personal Macro Workbook which makes them available to all open Workbooks on that computer.
For more about Macros our Excel Advanced course is the one to choose. Hope that helps, best regards - Pete
