RE: excel

Hi Camilla,
Thank you for your question;
In answer; A macro is a series of instructions that enables Excel to perform commands or actions for you. They are useful for complex or repetitive tasks that you perform regularly. Macros do not necessarily involve programming. The easiest way to create a macro is to have Excel record your actions then to store those actions as a macro. Actions can be any combination of mouse movements and click and keyboard strikes. Macros are very flexible and can be played back or modified at any time. To record a macro you would go to the main menu, choose Tools>Macro>Record New Macro ... give you Macro a meaningful name (no spaces) and then record your actions. Stop recording by pressing the Stop Recording button then follow the steps Tools>Macro>Macros find the name you gave and click Run. I hope that has helped Pete

Excel tip:

LARGE and SMALL functions and their uses

Two of Excel's most common functions are the MAX and MIN functions which will display the largest (MAX) or smallest (MIN) value in a series. What if you need the 2nd or 3rd largest or smallest values instead of the largest or smallest?

The =LARGE(array,n) returns the nth largest value of a series.

The =SMALL(array,n) function returns the nth smallest value of a series.

In both functions, 'n' represents the order of the number you want to display. For example, putting in 2 as n will give you the second highest number; putting in 3 as n will give you the third highest number.
