RE: Macros
Kristina
Thanks for tour question.
"By default, when you create a macro for a Microsoft Excel worksheet, that macro works only on that worksheet. This behavior is okay as long the macro automates tasks that are unique to that worksheet. But have you ever found yourself recreating the same macro on more than one worksheet? If you have (and even if you haven't), you can copy your macros to a worksheet called personal.xls. From there, your macros become available to you whenever you start Excel, and you can run them against the data on any open worksheet.
Of course, you need to be careful here. You don't want to run macros at random, because doing so might corrupt your data and cost you time and money. But if you have macros that you can use in a variety of situations, using a personal.xls file can also save you time and money."....

RE: Macros
Hi Kristina
Thank you for your question regarding the way macros can be stored.
There are 2 major ways to store marcos. Depending on which one you choose, there will be different options available.
1. THE CURRENT WORKBOOK (this workbook)
When you choose the "This workbook" when defining the name for the macro, prior to recording it, the macro will be stored in the current workbook only. This means that you will only be able to access and run the macro when that workbook is open. You will be able to use the macro in other workbooks, but again, only if that workbook is open at the time.
2. PERSONAL MACRO WORKBOOK
When you store the macro in this area, Excel will store the macro in an area that can be accessed by excel at any time. This means that you can apply the macro to any workbook, at any time.
If you have any further questions or comments regarding Mrcosoft Excel macros, or any other Microsoft Office application, please add them to our forum.
