How do you begin recording a new macro in Excel?

To begin recording a new macro in Excel, you must access the Developer Tab. This tab is specifically designed for advanced functionality, including macro creation and editing. Within the Developer Tab, you can find the option to record macros, allowing users to automate repetitive tasks efficiently.

While the Design Tab, Insert Tab, and Formulas Tab serve different purposes—such as designing forms, inserting elements, or using functions related to calculations—they do not provide the tools necessary for macro management. The Developer Tab is essential for accessing the macro-related features, making it the appropriate choice for beginning the macro recording process.
