    Hi,

    Question:
    I need to use programming in Excel to produce reports daily.
    Could you please suggest words for my sentence?

    Sentence:

    My opinion:
    Word 1: perform
    Word 2: chains

    Any better?

    Thanks

    I would like to help you but your question is not clear to me.
    Would you please rephrase it?

    It doesn't have much meaning.

    I write (or use) Excel macros to generate reports. That's clear.
    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.

    The fact is:

    use excel macro to perform chains/series of actions & calculations to generate report.

    I just try to emphaze "chains/series", not single

    Surely a series of events is implied by the use of a "macro"? If it were only one calculation, you wouldn't need the macro.
