A macro is a piece of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) executable code that you can use to tailor Microsoft Excel to suit your needs. For example, you can write a macro to format a spreadsheet in a particular way. Macros can be executed using the F5 key in the Visual Basic Editor (VBE), they can be attached to a function key or you can run a macro with a cell click.

Change the code to suit your needs. The above code writes "Your text here" into cell "A10" when cell "A1" is clicked. Change the "A1" in "Target.Address = "$A$1"" to the cell you want to click, then change Range("A10") = "Your text here" to indicate the cell you want the event to happen in and the text you want to appear.
