automate tasks vs repetitive instructions

[lezawang]

Hi in the article below it is mention that VBA is used to automate tasks and repetitive instructions.
I do not see any different between these 2. Can you give me an example of these 2 things. Thank you so much.


[h=3]Why learning Excel VBA is so important?[/h][FONT=&quot]As you become familiar with Excel, you will notice that although Excel provides you large number of tools, but still it doesn’t have everything that you need to perform your daily tasks. Such tasks may include creating custom functions, repetitive instructions, automating tasks etc.

Automate tasks could be a one off macro to process thousands of lines of data into a manageable form

repetitve instructions could be something that you process on a daily, weekly, monthly timeframe.....like a roster or payslip.....might only be a couple of lines of code !!

I note you have asked a number of questions relating to this theme....are you studying for something ???
