In Excel, you can automate tasks by using macros. A macro is a set of instructions that tells Excel what to do. These commands are written in a computer programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). This document first explains how to create macros using the Macro Recorder provided by Excel. Just as a tape recorder can be used to record sounds which can be played back later, so the Macro Recorder can record your actions into a macro. In this way you can create macros without learning about Visual Basic. These macros can be run whenever you wish, automatically repeating your recorded actions and so saving. | Information Technology Service Guide 39 Version Introduction to using macros in Microsoft Excel 2003 This guide provides an elementary introduction to using macros in Excel 2003.
