What Are Excel Macros


Source and copy right reserved: https://exceloffthegrid.com/excel-vba-macros/

Excel macros are sequences of instructions or commands that automate tasks in Microsoft Excel. They are written in a programming language called Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). Here's a brief overview:

  1. Recording Macros: Excel allows users to record a series of actions as a macro. This recording is then converted into VBA code.
  2. VBA Code: For more complex or customized automation, users can directly write and edit VBA code in the Visual Basic Editor within Excel. VBA is a versatile programming language that allows for automation, data manipulation, and interaction with Excel objects.
  3. Automation: Macros are useful for automating repetitive tasks, such as formatting, data manipulation, or report generation. They can save time and reduce errors by executing a series of predefined steps with a single command.
  4. Execution: Macros can be triggered to run manually by the user or automatically when a specific event occurs, such as opening a workbook or changing a cell value.
  5. Security Considerations: Due to the potential for malicious macros, Excel has security features that may restrict or warn about running macros. Users should be cautious about enabling macros in files from untrusted sources.
  6. Macros in Workbooks: Macros are often saved within Excel workbooks. When a workbook containing macros is shared, it's important to consider compatibility and security settings.

Understanding Excel macros and VBA can greatly enhance productivity for users who regularly work with complex spreadsheets or repetitive tasks in Excel.

Unmasking the Hidden Agenda: How a Secret Body is Manipulating Africa's Religious Landscape to Suppress Economic Growth

Image
By Taghogho Von Apochi  If I tell you this truth, will you believe it? There exists a secret body behind the surge of Pentecostal churches across Africa. Have you ever wondered why these so-called miracle pastors are often surrounded by white individuals, both on stage and behind the scenes? These individuals aren't just random supporters. They control the media teams, oversee the so-called miracle operations, and manage the spread and general governance of these churches. They report directly to headquarters, receiving funding and instructions. Now, let me ask you: What do you think the real purpose of this is?

Redefining Confraternities: Empowering Nigeria's Youth for Unity and Progress - By Taghogho Von Apochi

For the record, Pyrates, NBM, Buccaneers, Eiye, Vikings, and similar organizations are not cults; they are known as confraternities. A cult is a social group defined by its unorthodox religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs and practices, often centered around a charismatic leader and involving strict loyalty and control over members. A confraternity, on the other hand, is an organized group or society often associated with a religious or academic institution, formed for mutual support and communal activities, typically focusing on charitable, educational, or religious purposes. Let us see some examples: In the United States, the most influential and well-known collegiate secret societies or fraternities, often with significant power and historical impact, include: 1. Skull and Bones - Yale University (Founded in 1832) 2. Scroll and Key - Yale University (Founded in 1842) 3. The Porcellian Club - Harvard University (Founded in 1791) These organizations are known for their select...

Sickle Cell Warriors and Malaria: What You Must Know to Stay Safe - Von T. Apochi (Geneticist)

Image
Malaria is very dangerous for people with sickle cell. It doesn’t just cause fever, it can trigger severe pain crises because the infection and treatment put stress on red blood cells, making them sickle and block blood flow. I have encountered patience who do this dangerous practice of treating malaria like they are feeding a plant with routine fertilizers. This is not a good thing to do. Why does this happen? Malaria breaks down red blood cells fast. Medicines like artemether-lumefantrine can also damage red cells. Fever, dehydration, and stress make sickling worse. Better Treatment Choices For severe malaria, artesunate injection works quickly and is gentler on red cells. For simple malaria, dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (Duo-Cotecxin®) is effective and safer than some other pills. Always see a doctor before starting treatment . What is G6PD? G6PD is an enzyme that protects red cells. If you have G6PD deficiency, some drugs or infections can destroy your red cells, causing dangerou...
