But in this case during the recording of the macro, I used the mouse to select the column I was going to delete, and the did the deletion of the column, and then selected the other column, and deleted it as well. Worked perfectly during the record process. The playback of the macro failed, since the recorder had nothing in the process of the mouse selecting the column to be delete. The record just had delete column, delete column. For some reason the use of the mouse to click on the top of the column was never recorded, and that is how I generally select the columns to delete during regular usage. I did them modify the recorded macro to add going to the column before each delete column operation and it now works. Could have recorded the macro using a goto the cell in the column, and it probable would have worked correctly, but the issue was that the recorder failed to record a proceess that works manually?? > -> When I use the recorder to act upon cells/columns/rows, I usually > start with Ctrl+Home to set things clearly, then I move the active cell > to the wanted place (for quick moves you may try using the cell name field). > Yes, most of my macro start with the Ctrl-Home. Have just run into a few things were the recorder doesn't fully record the process as it was done. The macro process is different than the old days. Did a lot of work with Quattro Pro, and never had issues with its recorder. The recording process made commands that matched with the keys pressed. This method has vastly different options. Also, you combine macros easily. Because of the process, you have to renumber all the options if you insert something, or combine macros. Just different.
