How to add macros in Excel ribbon?

In order to know how to add macros in excel, you first need to understand what macros are. A macro in excel is basically a series of instructions and once you create a macro, what excel will do is that it will execute those instructions step-by-step on the data that you have provided to excel. For example, we could have  a macro that instructs excel to take a number, add 3, multiply by 7, and return the modulus. Now, whenever we instruct excel to run that specific macro, we don't have to provide it with each step manually; excel will automatically do them all. 

You may not understand this at time, but macros can save you a large amount of time if you perform the same series of instructions on daily basis. Formatting raw data, filtering and sorting data, or applying the same set of functions and procedures to your sheets are all possibilities. They're also fantastic for sharing because macros can be kept in Excel spreadsheets, so you don't have to transmit extra files to your colleagues. Simply build a macro, deliver the spreadsheet to them, and let them work on it. If you deal with spreadsheets on a daily basis, macros may be able to save you a significant amount of time. Now, let's get started with how to add macros in excel.
