Top notch!

I was planning on taking a 5 hour course on Macros but this helped tremendously! I'm sure there might be some things that may be missing, but Cody nailed this in 7 minutes.

Absolutely great tutorial on macros in Excel. I hadn't done them before, and was asked about them in an interview, and was able to follow up with the employer letting them know that I could successfully do them after following along with this tutorial. If you are a Mac user, to add the Developer tab, click on "Excel" in your menu, and pick "Preferences". You will have the customized ribbons selection available to click here, and then you can enable the Developer tab.

Thank you Cody Baldwin!

I just ran into this video and damn, macros look so simple when you explain them! You are a hell of a teacher, thanks for sharing the knowledge, Cody :)

What an excellent, clear, straightforward introduction to macros. I was looking for something like this, for a friend who wants to learn about them, and this is perfect for the purpose. Thank you for producing it.

I have a Udemy Excel course that I am thoroughly happy with, but this was also a fantastic video that displayed the utility of macros. Concise, clear, and definitely helpful. Subscribed and thank you!

[ceciliaalob]

this video is so helpful. Anyone with zero knowledge with macro can learn doing it by themselves by just watching this 7-minute video. Thank you so so much for sharing forward to watching more of videos sir... this very informative and easy to follow.. thank you again.... Writing here from the Philippines - June 26 2022.... 9:03am

[vochongvale]

omg omg omg omg omg THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I want to cry tears of happiness! I have spent my entire day (>8 hrs) learning ways to automate/filter/delete/hide data on excel and kept running into a dead end. This video is a Godsend!!! Thank

[rajeshs]

For many years I was frightened by the term 'macros' whenever I came across it in excel. Now no more fear of macros. Great explanation!!

[Craig.Coates]

OH MY GOD. For over a decade now I've done this stuff manually, the hours of my life I've wasted, you have just given me a lot of free time haha. thank you, and so well delivered.

Adding "Screenupdating=False" as the first code line will hide the macro working and show only the result. If you use it often the macro can be assigned to a button and aded to a tool bar. Great video.

For non programmers; the recorder can be a very useful tool. I would have liked to see you mention the caveat that the recorder will perform the same action on every new report. eg 7:00
Debt to income column "C"
Selection.AutoFill Destination:=Range("C2:C501")


If every report has 500 lines of data; this recorded macro will work perfectly every time. However if the next report is 50 lines or 5, 000 or even 50, 000, the macro will only autofill between Cells "C2:C501". Understanding how to create variables and identifying dynamic ranges can make this macro capable of handling a new report of any out put size.

I've been learning small things such as how to color a cell, change font, borders individually not knowing I could have done it as easy as this,
Thank you so much! Now I'll be able to learn faster
