Learn Basic Macros In Just 5 Min With Excel Automation
If you have tasks in Microsoft #Excel that you do repeatedly, you can record a #Macro to automate #Macro tasks. A #Macro is an action or a set of actions that you can run as many times as you want. When you create a #Macro, you are recording your mouse clicks and keystrokes.
With #Excel #VBA you can automate tasks in #Excel by writing so called #Macros. In this chapter, learn how to create a simple #Macro which will be executed after clicking on a command button. First, turn on the Developer tab.

What Are Excel Macros?
#Macros are code that automate work in a program—they let you add your own tiny features and enhancements to help you accomplish exactly what you need to do, quickly with just a click of abutton. In a spreadsheet tool like #Excel, macros can be especially powerful. Hidden behind the normal user interface, they are more powerful than standard functions you enter into a cell.
Why Use Excel Macros?
Learning how to #automate #Excel is one of the easiest ways to speed up your work–especially because #Excel is used in so many work processes.
Say every week you export analytics data from your content management system (CMS) to create a report about your site. The only problem is, those data exports aren't always in an #Excel-friendly format. They're messy and often include far more data than your report requires. This means you have to clean up empty rows, copy and paste data into the right place, and create your own charts to visualize data and make it print-friendly. All of these steps may take you hours to complete.
How to Build Your First Excel Macro?
You already know your way around #Excel, and are familiar with its grid of cells where you enter your text and functions. To build #Excel #macros, though, you'll need an extra tool that's built into Excel: the Visual Basic Editor.
How to Record an Excel Macro
There are two ways to make a #macro: code it or record it. The main focus of this article is on the former, but recording a #macro is so simple and handy, it's worth exploring too. Recording a #macro is a good way of getting to know the basics of #VBA . Later on, it serves as handy storage for code that you don’t need to memorize.
When you record a #macro, you tell #Excel to start the recording. Then you perform the tasks you want to be translated into #VBA code. When you’re done, tell #Excel to stop recording and you can use this new #macro to repeat the actions you just performed again and again.
How to Code Your Own Excel Macros
#Macros are just bits of code in #Excel that do your bidding. Once you write the code in the #VBA #Editor, you can run it and let the code work its magic on your spreadsheet. But what's even better is to build your #macro into your spreadsheet, and the best tool for that is buttons.
So first, before we start coding, let's add a button to run our #macro.
Add a Button to Run Your Macro
You can use various #Excel objects as buttons for running macros, but I prefer to use a shape from the “Insert” tab. When you have inserted your shape, right click it and select “Assign #Macro…” Then select the #macro you want to run when the shape is clicked—perhaps the one you just made with a recording and save it by clicking “OK”.
