Techopedia Explains Macro
By running a macro, users are able to trim down time that is normally consumed by repetitive tasks. Some macros, like the ones in MS Excel, may also contain functions. An Excel macro is typically created by recording a sequence of keyboard and mouse actions using the Macro Recorder. It can also be created using Visual Basic (because even a recorded macro is made up of Visual Basic code).
