    Decode text in a cell encoded in basecode64

    hey all,

    i want to create a macro that will take text from one cell in excel, which is encoded in basecode64 and have it be auto decoded in the next cell as normal.

    can anyone help?

    Do i need to stick it inside of a macro, or can i trigger it to run on its own.

    If you have the time, could you build the sheet for me?

    thanks
