Some Basic Guidelines:
(1) You can assign a macro to do almost any repetitive task such as inserting text or values, opening files, etc. These macros can be assigned to a button or link for easier activation.

(2) To make a recorded macro run relative to your cell location, turn on the USE RELATIVE REFERENCES option when recording. You can do this by clicking on the icon that looks like a cell grid in the Record Macro toolbar.

(3) To make a macro do incremental tasks or decisions based on data in the spreadsheet or user input, you will have to create a custom written macro that requires some basic VB programming knowledge.

Always Remember...
If you expect to use a macro in different versions of Excel, in most cases it is better to record or write that macro while in the OLDEST version. This will better ensure compatibility in all versions.
