Running macros in Excel on an Android phone is not supported. Excel for Android does not include the functionality to run or create VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) macros. If you need to work with macros, you would need to use the desktop version of Excel for Windows or Mac. If you need to view or work with Excel files containing macros on your Android device, you can open the files, but the macros will not run. For full functionality, consider using a remote desktop application to access a PC or using cloud-based solutions like Office 365 through a browser on your phone, which might offer limited macro execution depending on the setup. read less

No, a macro in Excel itself cannot contain a virus. However, macros can execute commands that may potentially harm your computer or compromise security if they are malicious. Macros are scripts written in programming languages like VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) that automate tasks in Excel. To mitigate risks: 1. **Enable macros cautiously**: Only enable macros from trusted sources. 2. **Use antivirus software**: Keep your antivirus software up to date to detect and block potential threats. 3. **Review macro code**: If you're unsure about a macro's source or purpose, review the code before enabling it. 4. **Disable macros**: If you don't need macros enabled, keep them disabled by default in Excel's security settings. By following these precautions, you can minimize the risks associated with macros in Excel. read less

In Excel, macros are replaced or complemented by **Power Automate** (formerly known as Microsoft Flow) and **Power Apps**. These are part of Microsoft's Power Platform suite, designed to automate workflows and build custom applications without needing extensive coding knowledge. 1. **Power Automate**: This cloud-based service allows you to create automated workflows between your favorite apps and services to synchronize files, get notifications, collect data, and more. It can be used to automate repetitive tasks that macros traditionally handled in Excel. 2. **Power Apps**: This is another component of the Power Platform that lets you build custom apps with a point-and-click approach. You can create apps tailored to your business needs, such as data entry forms or interactive dashboards, which can replace some of the functionality macros provided in Excel. These tools provide more flexibility and integration capabilities compared to traditional Excel macros, offering a modern approach to automating processes and enhancing productivity. read less
