autorun macro when opening Excel

[deb_h]

Trying to complete an open event code:  to automatically run another macro when opening Excel.

Does anyone know the code for this?

@deb_h 

So you said when Excel opens. To do that you must first learn how to run a macro when a workbook opens. So let us tackle that first

There are 3 options to 'auto run' a macro when a workbook opens:

1. Auto_Open() - Create a routine named Auto_Open in a regular module. This is the most common method but the least robust (rarely doesn't run). 
2. Workbook_Open() - Use the Workbook Open event in ThisWorkbook. This is the second most common and a bit more robust (See below)
3. Ribbon OnLoad callback- This is the hardest to implement but works every time (most robust)

For this discussion we will use the ThisWorkbook Workbook_Open event.

Under your workbook click ThisWorkbook in Project Explorer. Then select Workbook in code window then select Open in dropdown.  Add code to Workbook_Open() sub which can be the code you want to run or a call to another routine to run

So now you have code that will run when this workbook opens. To make it run every time Excel opens we have 2 options:

1. Save the workbook as an Add-In and make sure the add-in is loaded when we exit Excel. The next time Excel opens, the add-in loads and fires its workbook_open event. 
2. Save the workbook as:
   C:\Users\<your user ID>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART\personal.xlsm
   

For this discussion I recommend option 2. Here are resources to explain it in more detail:
