RE: macros

A Macro is a way of automating repetitive tasks. For Example, you may be responsible at the end of each day, to collate sales figures from several worksheets and paste them to a summary sheet, format the sheet to ensure it fits on an A4 Landscape page, then send it to the printer where you require 5 copies, then save this workbook to a new location.
If you have to perform the above tasks every single day you will find it more convenient to record a macro, as we did in the class, and assign a shortcut keystroke or attach it to a button.
Once completed, you would only then at the end of each working day, click the button and it will perform all those tasks automatically.
This is just one of many uses of Macros. They can be as simple as formatting a date (as we did in the class), or as complex as you make it.
Should you require any help in creating a macro please contact me.
