RE: Macros

Hello Jitesh

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

A macro is an action or set of actions that you can use to automate a task, written in VBA.

The idea is that you can record yourself taking a series of actions, and then 'play' these actions so that a task can be performed quickly in Excel.

Kind regards
Amanda

Excel tip:

Quickly insert a function

In Excel 97 and 2000 it was known as the Paste Function dialog box, these days it's known as the Insert Function dialog box. Regardless, one has to choose Insert|Function. or the fx button to open it up. There is, however, a non-mousey way to get hold of the Insert Function dialog box: press Shift+F3 in a blank cell to open the Insert Function dialog.

Press Shift+F3 after a function name and open bracket to open the Function Arguments dialog. For example, type =VLOOKUP( into a cell and press Shift+F3 to obtain a detailed description of VLOOKUP's arguments.
