Creating macros in Excel is a great way to automate repetitive tasks.
To get started, here’s a list of helpful steps:
- Open the Excel workbook or spreadsheet
- Press
Alt + F11
to open the Visual Basic Editor (VBE) which is where you can create the macro code - Record your macro by pressing
Alt + F8
and under Macro recording settings, you can give the macro a name, description, and custom shortcut key. - Start carrying out the task you want to record and the VBE will start typing up the codes for your macro as you perform the commands.
- Press
Alt + F8
to stop the recording and save the macro. - Test the macro to make sure it functions properly.
