Macro has two computer-related definitions, both of which involve making your computer experience more efficient.
- In short, Excel Macros refers to the programming language in VBA. Macros are short programs written in VBA. We can record/write macros in VBA and can run a macro by clicking the Macros command on the Developer tab on the ribbon.
- Excel macro is a set of commands or instructions stored in a workbook in the form of VBA code. You can think of it as a small program to perform a predefined sequence of actions. Once created, macros can be re-used anytime. Running a macro executes the commands it contains.
Macros are stored inside Excel workbook files and can only be run from inside Excel. They're typically used to automate various Excel functions and add extra functionality to workbooks. Scripts are stored in text files using the.VBS extension and can be run from inside Windows or executed by other programs.

Most Common Excel Macros
A macro can also be a small program, or script, that automates common tasks. These scripts are usually run within programs and can often be created by the user. For example, a user might record a macro for Microsoft Word that inserts his entire address when he presses a custom key combination. A Microsoft Excel user might record a macro to format the data in the selected column of a spreadsheet.
While Word and Excel both make it easy to create custom macros, many other programs allow users to create macros as well. However, not all programs refer to the automated commands as macros. For example, Photoshop allows users to record changes made to an image and saves the series of steps as an 'action.' These actions can then by applied to other images. Regardless of what they are called, macros can save you a lot of time by automating repetitive tasks. If you find yourself doing the same thing over and over again when using a certain program, you may want to simplify the process by recording a macro.
