EXCEL 2007 MACROS

 TOM FARRAR OF CNEXTWAVE INC.  GOAL : LEARNING ABOUT EXCEL MACROS.  PRESENTATION INCLUDES DISCUSSION AND DEMONSTRATION.  QUESTIONS DURING OR AFTER THE PRESENTATION.

PRIMARY NAVIGATION:  THE RIBBON  THE QUICK ACCESS TOOLBAR (QAT)  KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS

 RECORDED OR WRITTEN VBA CODE  RECORDED WORKS LIKE A TAPE RECORDER  WRITTEN VBA IS SIMILAR TO PROGRAMMING CODE  USED TO AUTOMATE REPETITIVE TASKS  TURN MULTIPLE MOUSE “CLICKS” INTO ONE

SUBROUTINE MACRO CUSTOMIZED FUNCTION INTERACTIVE MACRO IF/THEN/ELSE ROUTINES CALENDAR MACRO

A MACRO OPERATING INSIDE ANOTHER MACRO CAN BREAK A COMPLEX MACRO INTO SMALLER PARTS OR PROVIDE USERS A CHOICE, LIKE CHOICE “A” OR CHOICE “B” LET’S TRY ONE….

USED TO EXECUTE COMPLICATED CALCULATIONS PROTECT CALCULATION DETAILS AVAILABLE WITH OTHER STANDARD EXCEL FUNCTIONS LET’S TRY ONE….

BREAK IN MACRO REQUIRING USER ACTION BEFORE CONTINUING USED FOR INPUT, MESSAGE, OR STATUS-BAR BOXES REQUIRING ATTENTION LET’S TRY ONE…..

SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS SUBROUTINE EXAMPLE CREATE THE “IF” FIRST THEN ADD THE “ELSE” CODE THEN ADD THE “ELSEIF” CODE LET’S TRY ONE…..
