What is a Macro?

Welcome to my macro tutorials. For a list of all my macro tutorials feel free to check out my Macro Tutorials.

In this tutorial I will show you what a macro is.

A Macro is a custom command created by users to perform a specific function.  Ideally macros are designed to combine multiple commands into one command.  Whether you create a macro for a single command or a combination of 100 commands, the best reason to create and use macros is the ability to run them from any where within your application.

Example: 

Say you want to create a new worksheet you can create a Macro.  You can also use the same macro to name the worksheet after it is created.

In the next tutorial I will teach you How a Macro Works.
