We’re presenting this material because we want you to have a high-level understanding of what’s involved in writing macros. It should be clear that writing macros well takes a special set of skills that the ordinary person probably doesn’t have. In the real world, the decision to write a macro should not be taken lightly, but as you know from using Convolve, macros offer tremendous efficiencies. If you’re managing a modeling group, and you see a need for a macro, consider hiring a consultant to build it.

We focus on function macros in this course because they’re more likely than command macros to make a real difference in your facility with constructing models. For instance, when your customer wants to see result streams displayed as [Month1, Month2, Month3, Q1 Total, Month4, Month5, Month6, Q2 Total, …], you probably realize that such a layout makes copy/paste and fill very inconvenient. A macro can provide a simple means of producing the preferred layout from a more easily maintained pure month structure. It’s also easy to construct macros for running sums and running differences. Can you think of other applications for function macros that make your models easier to build and maintain?
