How to Run the Macro in Excel
There are different methods by which a macro can run. Some of the methods are discussed here in this article.
Run the Macro by Clicking on a Shape
It is one of the easiest ways to run a macro to create any shape in the worksheet and use it for running the macro.
Step 1: Click on the Insert Tab on the ribbon
Step 2: Choose any Shape
Go to the Illustrations group and click on the Shapes icon. In the sheet, choose any shape we like and want it to be assigned as the macro.
Step 3: Add the Shape
Click where you want to add the shape in the sheet and the shape will automatically get inserted.
Step 4: Edit the Shape
The shape can be resized or re-formatted accordingly to the way you want. Text can also be added to the shape.
Step 5: Right Click on the Shape and Click on Assign Macro
Then Right-Click on the shape and a dialog box would be opened. Then click on Assign Macro.
After right-clicking on the shape, another dialog box of Macro would be opened.
Step 6: Now Select the Macro
In the dialog box, select the macro from the list you want to assign to your shape and click the OK button. Now the shape would work as a button and whenever you click on it, it will run the assigned macro.
Macros In Excel With Example
In Microsoft Excel, where spreadsheets are the playground, we often encounter the repetitious demands of certain tasks. These are the tasks that seem to crop up again and again, capturing our attention with relentless persistence. However, in this age of technological progress, a silent hero steps forward to liberate us from this ceaseless cycle – the unassuming yet powerful “Macro.” Think of macros as Excel’s covert operatives for automation, working quietly in the background to spare us the laborious duty of manually carrying out repetitive tasks. They are the unsung champions of efficiency, gifting us the remarkable ability to accomplish in mere moments what would otherwise devour hours of our valuable time. But what exactly is a macro? At its essence, a macro is a sequence of actions carefully recorded by Excel, patiently waiting for our directive to execute a specific task. Picture this: every mouse click and keystroke, discreetly tucked away within the confines of a macro, poised to spring into action at our command, ready to perform its enchantment.
