When you find yourself repeatedly performing the same actions or tasks in your spreadsheets, it might be time for you to create a macro. A macro is a recording of each command and action you perform to complete a task. Then, whenever you need to carry out that task in your spreadsheets, you just run the macro instead.
Macros can be activate by a couple of keystrokes or by a worksheet button so they are easy to execute, and, provided they were recorded correctly, they will always carry out the same steps in the same order with no chance for operator error.
Although complex macros can be created in Excel using the Macro editor, it also possible to create relatively simple ones using the Excel macro recorder. If you are new to using macros in your spreadsheets, read this Excel Macro Tutorial on using the Excel macro recorder.

Cool. Sweet n simple, provided could have given some info touching VBA too.
Awesome… very simple!!
This was yummy
awsme
tnx! I have seen from a man’s work that when he put numbers in two cells the result will be shown at the name of the sheets he was using. it will automatically change if he put sumthing in two cells from the spreadsheet.he said he’s using macro. I have no idea how it was done. can u give me an idea about it?
Thank you so much for your great tutorial
Great tutorial but I discovered that the Excel version for Mac is unable to create macros, only import existing ones. For Mac users, try using Automator.
this is the best tutorial i have ever had
Hello.
Really simple. What if there is some changes you need to add, is that still possible using Macro?
Thanks
I don’t understand the difference between saving the macro in a workbook, worksheet or personal list.
What advantage disadvantage and how to use them once created. I don’t see much notes on this.

If you store a macro in:
PERSONAL MACRO WORKBOOK, you can run it in any workbook.
NEW WORKBOOK, you can choose this if you want to begin recording with no workbooks open, or if you want the functionality of the macro to be applied to a new workbook.
Thanks
that was cool..:D
NICE HELPFUL….
