How to build a basic macro

A Macro is simply a way to automate a procedure.

To give you an example, click in an empty cell in excel, then go up to the Tools Menu and down to Macro> Record a New Macro.

You can give the Macro a name you can use your own name,

then type your last name into the cell, press enter, (so your cell is not active) and go up to the Tools menu and down to Macro>Stop Recording.

If you go into Tools>Macro>Macros and click on your name and then press Run the computer should automatically type you own name in a cell.

Now you have created an automated procedure and simply put, you can record all different types of routine procedures.

If you have any problems with that let me know
