tUSING IT FOR AUTOMATING
BUSINESS PROCESSES
“There should be an app for that...”
Practical Business Uses Insert boilerplate text. If you need to enter standard text into a range of cells,
you can create a macro to do the typing for you. Automate a task that you perform frequently. For example, you may need to
prepare a month-end summary. If the task is straightforward, you can develop a macro to do it for you.
Create a custom command. For example, you can combine several Excel commands so that they’re executed from a single keystroke or from a single mouse click.
Create a simplified “front end” for users who don’t know much about Excel. For example, you can set up a foolproof data-entry template.
Develop a new worksheet function. Although Excel includes a wide assortment of built-in functions, you can create custom functions that greatly simplify your formulas.
Create complete macro-driven applications. Excel macros can display custom dialog boxes and respond to new commands added to the Ribbon.
Create custom add-ins for Excel. Most add-ins shipped with Excel were created with Excel macros.
