This chapter explores automation in Excel, a crucial tool for simplifying repetitive tasks and improving the efficiency of data processing.

Automation allows you to concentrate on analysis rather than the intricacies of report preparation.

You'll learn how to utilize basic Excel feature called macro, to develop standardized, automated reports.

Task

After creating and styling some charts in the previous chapter, try to capture the styling of one chart using a macro and then apply it to another chart to make them similar.

Remember, Excel tracks the starting point when you begin recording a macro. If you want the macro to affect a selected chart, start recording with the chart already selected. Here are the steps:

  1. Select the chart you want to style.
  2. Begin recording the macro.
  3. Apply the desired styles to the chart.
  4. Stop recording the macro.

To apply the macro to another chart, follow these steps:

  1. Select the chart you want to style.
  2. Run the macro.

These steps ensure that the macro can be applied to any chart.

Conversely, if you include selecting the chart as part of the macro, it will always attempt to apply the styling to the same chart every time you run it.

Note

Be careful when recording a macro. Each action you do while recording will be repeated while runing, so make sure only the correct steps will be saved into you macro.

Place the steps in the correct order to apply the macro to the same object each time you run it:
1. Begin recording the macro.
2. Stop recording the macro.
3. Selecting the object.
4. Apply changes to the object.

Place the steps in the correct order to apply the macro to the same object each time you run it:
