Excel Macros/Drop Down Lists

Macros and drop down lists are features of Excel that have been utilised by the spreadsheet designer to increase functionality. There are a few problems that can be encountered when using files with macros or drop down lists:

• Macros and drop down lists will only work using Microsoft Excel version 97 or later.
• The security level in Excel can be set up to stop macros from running. To ensure the macros work, in Excel select Tools > Macro > Security?. Set security level to Medium and re-open the file, agreeing with the confirmation messages that may appear.
• Some macros only run when Excel performs a calculation. For these macros, the calculation settings in Excel must be set to automatic. To do this, select Tools > Options?, select the Calculation tab and set calculation to Automatic.
