A macro is a single instruction that automates a set of repeated tasks in spreadsheets, such as entering data or applying formulas. Actions like window switching and mouse selections are not recorded by macros, which can be stored in the LibreOffice Macros Library or created by users.

LESSON – 5

USING MACROS IN SPREAD SHEET


NCERT QUESTIONS
1. What is a Macro?
✓ A macro is a single instruction that executes a set of instructions.
✓ These set of instructions can be as sequence of commands or keystrokes that
can be used for any number of times later.
✓ A macro help us to automate the repeated tasks that are always performed in
the same way over and over again.
Example,
❖ When we have to perform repeated tasks, such as typing school name,
address, and contact number with a specific formatting.
❖ When we apply the same formula at a particular cell for different
sheets in a workbook.

2. Actions that are not recorded by a Macro

✓ Opening of windows
✓ Actions carried out in another window than where the recording was started.
✓ Window switching
✓ Actions that are not related to the spreadsheet contents.

macros.

My Macros

✓ It contains macros that the user write or adds to LibreOffice


✓ It can be changed according to user’s requirement.
4. Pre-defined function in Calc:

✓ Pre-defined functions are already defined in LibreOffice Calc.


✓ As, these are already created we just have to use it as it is when
required.
✓ We cannot do any changes in pre-defined functions.
✓ Ex: Sum (), Average () etc.

Macros as a Function

✓ These are user defined functions, in this the user creates a macro that
performs the calculations.
✓ As, these are created by user, first we have to write a code in BASIC (a
programming language for Macros)
✓ We can do changes in this according to our requirement.
✓ Ex: Area (), Total (), etc.

5. Rules for naming a Macro

✓ Macro name must begin with a letter


✓ Macro name does not contain spaces
