This is script that we just recorded in Excel 2007 using the "Record Marco" feature. I am going to explain the basics of Recording Marcos in Excel.
What is Recording Marcos?
It means that you can create a macro without coding.
All you have to do is: a set of tasks like add data to cell, add functions and more.
Basically, it allows you to automate in Excel without coding. The code is being written after you record a Marco.
How to record a Marco in Excel?
Open Excel, View Tab > Marcos Group > Click on the dropdown button at bottom of the "Macros option" > Click on "Record Marcos" > Name your Macro, Add a shortcut key and Add a description (You can leave it blank) > Do something like writing numbers or text, using functions or more.
How to stop a recording?
After you have done your recording, you will need to stop it.
View Tab > Marcos Group > Click on the dropdown button at bottom of the "Macros option" > Stop recording
How to play a recording?
View Tab > Marcos Group > Click on Marcos > A dialog box will appear > Select the name of your recorded Marco > Click on the "Run button"
Here is our recorded Marco code:
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+p
'
Range("A1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Expense Name"
Range("C1").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = ""
Range("A2").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Milk"
Range("A3").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Cheese"
Range("A4").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Bread"
Range("A5").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Salt"
Range("A6").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Oil"
Range("A7").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Fruits"
Range("D8").Select
End Sub
NOTE: THIS DOES NOT WORK ON WEB VERSIONS OF EXCEL.
