Hi folks, yesterday I picked up Office 2011 for Mac and have it installed, so far so good.
However, because I've been using Excel in Mac for so long, I've become used to not having macro's in my spreadsheets.
Thinking it was going to be a breeze creating macro's, buttons etc, I set about trying to do so in a sheet I have where a macro would help me no end. It was only then did I realise that in fact my last experience with macro's was in fact in Lotus 1-2-3 back in the late 1990's!
My question is this, Visual Basic is obviously a completely different animal to that which I've used in the distant past; as Office 2011 is only just out, what's the best way I can find info on how to get the most out of VB? I'm assuming any books on the subject will reference only Windows versions of Excel, is the interface the same?
So far, I've worked our how to record a macro but I'm really struggling to place a macro button on the spreadsheet itself, I can only seem to place it in the toolbar which is then visible in every file I open, despite only being relevant to one.
Can anyone please help? Many thanks in advance ....
