That's excellent advice. Thank you. I 'll check it out. An answer to one question would be very helpful immediately: Is there any kind of recording feature in Visual Basic for Excel 2011 that would enable me to record a few simple moves such as copy and then paste special (values, multiply)? That would solve an immediate need. Then I could proceed with the general learning experience without undue pressure. I tried to do that one with AppleScript in Excel 2008, but gave up.
