Steem Skillshare: Your First Step to Unlock Microsoft Excel's Limitless Capability

A week ago I publish an article introducing a lesson for Microsoft Excel Programming. Microsoft Excel Programming or Excel Macro is a set of actions or instructions you give to Excel that let Excel perform a task on its own with speed and accuracy. If you are using Microsoft Excel then this FREE lesson is for you.

I decided to publish free lessons on Microsoft Excel Programming to inspire Steemians to continuously find ways to make things easier. For today's free lesson, I will introduce to you the first step that you should do to unlock the wonderful world of Excel Programming. I would suggest open your Microsoft Excel and follow these steps:

1. On your Microsoft Excel sheet, go to Home ribbon.

1. Select Options.

1. Go to Customize Ribbon and check the "Developer" checkbox.

1. Now you can see the "Developer" on the file tab. Now go and select the Developer tab.

1. Once you select the Developer tab, a new window will open. Welcome to the Microsoft Excel programming world. To create your first macro, select that square icon and select "Module" on the dropdown.

1. A blank canvass where you can write your first macro will open.

1. As your first macro, copy the below codes and paste it to the module. You can write anything within the message box.

Sub myfirstmacro()

MsgBox "hello Steemit, I am @yourusername"

End Sub

This may be a simple set of instructions but the codes you can embed to excel is limitless.

1. To make it more exciting, we will create a button that when clicked will execute this code. Sounds fun right? Go back to your excel sheet and insert a rectangle.

1. Right click on the rectangle and select "Assign Macro".

1. Now select "myfirstmacro" and click OK.

1. When you click that square button, the macro will run. There you have it, you first macro. Enjoy clicking on that button :) .

On our next lessons, we will increase our competency further and try out another code. Write on your comment below for your suggestions on our next lesson.
