how do I display a automatically message when excel opens?

[Prakash]

I am using excel and want to automatically display a message when the user
opens up the spreadsheet.

Prakash, one way, if macros are enabled,

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
MsgBox "Your Message Here"
End Sub

To put in this macro, from your workbook right-click the workbook's icon and
pick View Code. This icon is to the left of the "File" menu this will open
the VBA editor, in Project Explorer double click on thisworkbook, under your
workbook name, if you don't see it press CTRL + r to open the Project
Explorer, then paste the code in the window that opens on the right hand
side, press Alt and Q to close this window and go back to your workbook, now
this will run every time you open the workbook. If you are using excel 2000
or newer you may have to change the macro security settings to get the macro
to run. To change the security settings go to tools, macro, security,
security level and set it to medium
