New to VBA programming

**Blackhawks** · 07-07-2014, 07:41 PM

Hello everyone,

I'm new to VBA programming and my main question is, is there a way to record actions and then use the code from those actions as a Macro? For instance, say I wanted to consolidate all the items in a column, is there a way to press record in VBA and then perform the actions I want to be done and then press stop somewhere, and then all the code for the action that i wanted is recorded?

I'm not sure if that made any sense or if there is anything like that, but I thought I'd ask.

Thanks in advance!!

With 32 posts, you should know that the forum rules request "meaningful" thread titles ... so you might well be asked by a moderator to change it.

In the meantime, look in the bottom left hand corner of the main Excel window. You'll see an icon that looks like a tiny Excel grid. Click on that to start recording a macro.

Regards, TMS
