• Introduction

In Excel, if you perform a task repeatedly, you can automate it with a macro. A macro is a stored
list of commands and keystrokes. They are automatically executed when you run the macro.

Before you record or write a macro,


ü Plan the steps and commands you want the macro to perform.
ü Any keystroke you make while recording a macro, is recorded. This includes
mistakes!
ü Macros can be stored so they are available for all workbooks, or only the workbook
open when it is created.
ü Macros can be edited after they are created.

Macros are great for many things including


ü Creating Headers and footers that are used repeatedly in different workbooks or
worksheets
