Having Trouble With Macros
Hi! I have been having trouble with my macros. I followed all the steps on enabling them however, when I try to use macro functions on my excel sheets (like changing font colors, adding border, etc) ...
It sounds like you're using macros for cosmetic purposes ("changing font colors, adding border, etc"). lf so, may I ask if they're really necessary?
It's fun to use macros, fun to have that as part of your Excel toolkit--I'll grant you that--but there are lots of us who avoid them unless totally necessary, believing that such things as colors and borders can be done with "Conditional Formatting" where it helps in highlighting spots that warrant it. And, for that matter, even most advanced calculations and data parsing tasks can be accomplished with Excel functions....
