2. Macro Automation: ChatGPT can be used to automate repetitive tasks in Excel, such as running calculations or updating data, by creating macros that can be run with a simple command.
We can have fun with this example of removing duplicates from the first column of data:
Here is the VBA Code written by ChatGPT:
Sub RemoveDuplicates()
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Range("A1").CurrentRegion
rng.RemoveDuplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo
End Sub
This is awesome legitimate code as it even added an explanation on how you can use this VBA program to start running it inside your workbook!
