Yes rnparikh, all of the "more accomplished" Excel users are able to use
macros, and even some of us "accomplishment challanged" users are able to
muddle through them sometimes.
From one of my previous posts:
A "Macro" is an abbreviation for a set of commands, so instead of typing a
complicated sequence of commands you can simply type the Macro's name. You
can either think of Macros as new commands in their own right or as
subroutines.
Virtually anything that can be done by hand in Excel, can be written into a
"Macro" so one can only invoke the Macro when they want that particular list
of commands instead of having to type each one each time.
Basically, they are mini-programs that can greatly shorten the time of
completion of repetitive tasks, as well as accomplish some things you can't
do by hand.
Vaya con Dios,

This discussion surface every 18 months or so
I'm with Chuck. Knowledge is just as much knowing where to find the
solutions, as is is going around memorizing tons of stuff. I usually err on
"Test your Excel skills" test because I don't recall the name of some rare
economical function or the exact caption of some menu item. Also, I can't
see why it's wrong to assist a pupil or a student, while it's perfectly
normal to help accountants or NASA engineers that probably are well paid to
know those things themselves.
My view only, many disagree and it's ok with me.
Best wishes Harald

I don't think anyone would argue with your points.
But the point RD is making, and I think I read the situation the same way
hence the obtuse ness of my reply, is that if you get a homework/coursework
question, you are meant to research it and come to some personal thoughts
based on information that you have gleaned. Just posting the question and
assembling the answers is lazy, intellectually bankrupt, and downright
dishonest. Asking a question of what is a macro and what is it for
Bob Phillips said:Harald,
I see the difference as, with the accountant, his job is to provide the
solution, his boss doesn't care how he got there. The student's task is to
demonstrate the ability to research a topic, collate information, and then
to make a reasoned discussion. Us supplying an answer satisfies the first,
completely usurps the second. Somewhat akin to reading the results before a
test, what is the point?
