Using A Macro In All Workbooks

Hi,

Where can I save a macro so that I can use it on any worksheet. I pull a report every month and it creates a new workbook. I need to be able to use a certain macro on each new report.

Thank you for your help.

You can save it in your Personal Macro Workbook......Personal.xls

or in any new workbook which you then save as an Add-in.

If you don't have a Personal.xls you can create one..........

With an existing workbook open..........

Tools>Macro>Record New Macro. Store in Personal Macro Workbook.

Record some simple steps like copying a cell and pasting it.

Hit the Stop Recording button.

You now have a Personal.xls workbook.

Hit ALT + F11 to go to the Visual Basic Editor.

CTRL + r to open project explorer.

Find Personal.xls and double-click on Module1.

Copy/paste your macro into that module.

Save Personal.xls.

Note: it can be saved Hidden so it is always available but not seen.
