Whenever I run a macro , I am unable to minimize Excel and hence can't
work on anything else. Is there a setting to be able to run in
background ?

Use DoEvents statements inside your macro - especially inside any loops. e.g:

For i = 1 to 1000
DoEvents
' Code for loop
Next i

DoEvents lets Excel process actions outside of your macro (including
minimizing it).
