FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 2023

Follow the instructions in the given order to complete the assignment:

TOTAL MARKS = 25

PART 1: (1 MARK DEDUCTION IF NOT DONE RIGHT)

1. Create a new excel workbook and save in D Drive (as a macro enabled file .xlsm)
and name it after lab number and your roll number (e.g. L9-2026-11-001).
2. This is an individual assignment. Fill in the information by answering the first
question below.

PART 2: GROUP MEMBERS INFO (5 MARKS)

1. For the sake of this question, pretend that this is a group lab. Saving student/group
member’s information in the same format for each lab has gotten so boring. Let’s
automate it!
a. Insert a new worksheet named “Group” in the workbook. Record a macro
that inserts a box with the headings “Group Members”, “Roll Number”,
“Name”, borders and highlighting in cells A1:B6 (top of your worksheet). [3]
Your box should look like the following image:

Group Members
# Name Roll Number
1
2

b. Name the macro “Group_Information”. [.5]

c. Shortcut key should be Ctrl+Shift+G.
d. The macro should have the following description: [.5]
“This macro prints a formatted box to enter my group details.”
e. The macro should be able to print this given box on cells B2:D5 in your
workbook. [.5]
f. The last active cell must be A7. [.5]
g. Save the new macro.
