Do you find yourself repeatedly performing the same actions or tasks in your spreadsheets? Do you have a time-consuming Excel-based process that you want to automate? Do you want to control how Excel acts when a file is opened, closed, saved or printed? If the answer to any of those questions is "Yes", it’s time to learn how to create a macro.

Macros free up much time by automating routine tasks in Excel. They allow you to store the sequence of actions it takes to complete tasks, and therefore shorten time spent on tedious commands by the click of a button! In this session, you will learn how to record & edit macros, create macros that can be re-used across multiple files, and create macros that run automatically based on an action, such as opening or closing a file.

Topics covered:

Use the Macro Recorder to create a macro

Save a file as a macro-enabled Excel workbook

Different ways to run a macro

Edit an existing macro

Use the Personal Macro Workbook to use specific macros across all files

Run macros automatically when a file is opened
