What's a 'Macro'?
What's a Macro and what are they used for?
We are a manufacturer of farming equipment. I developed a Bidding System and wondered many times if Macros might come in handy here and there. I typed Macro into Help - nothing at this basic level comes up. Same for Google and Wikipedia.... |

What's a 'Macro'?
A macro is a way to automate actions that you perform manually. You can
actually record your actions and re-play them later.

Elkar and Gary:
Thanks for the prompt reply. Right on the money in both cases. Exactly what I was looking for. Appreciate your effort. Obvious question: When you type 'Macros' into MSFT Exl Help, why wouldn't these two references be the first to pop up? Answer: Because Microsofties write Help sections for each other. They wouldn't be caught dead writing for their Simpleton Customers. Way beneath them. "Elkar" wrote: Hmm... the link got cut off.
