For more information, see Show the Developer tab. Macros and VBA tools can be found on the Developer tab, which is hidden by default, so the first step is to enable it. The more smoothly you record a sequence, the more efficiently the macro will run when you play it back. This is why whenever you record something, it's best to record a process with which you're highly familiar. The resolution is to re-record the entire sequence, or modify the VBA code itself. So if you make a mistake in your sequence, for example, clicking a button that you did not intend to click, the Macro Recorder will record it. It is important to know that you when you record a macro, the Macro Recorder captures almost every move you make. Although VBA gives you the ability to automate processes within and between Office applications, it is not necessary to know VBA code or computer programming if the Macro Recorder does what you want. Visual Basic Application (VBA) is a subset of the powerful Visual Basic programming language, and is included with most Office applications.
These steps can include typing text or numbers, clicking cells or commands on the ribbon or on menus, formatting cells, rows, or columns, or even importing data from an external source, say, Microsoft Access. When you record a macro, the macro recorder records all the steps in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code.
