How to Run a Minitab Macro

1. Open Minitab

  1. Double click on minitab icon to open
  2. Minitab Welcome Screen

2. Enable Commands

  1. Click on "Editor"
  2. Click to select "Enable Commands"

3. Define Macro File Directory

  1. In the command type in "CD" press "Enter" on the keyboard.  After you press enter you will see what your current directory is.
  2. In the command type in "CD and included the address of where your macro files are stored on the computer or shared drive" for example I have a macro folder in the following directory: C:\Users\ykupeyan\Documents\Special Projects\Macros\ESG Macros  so I typed in "CD C:\Users\ykupeyan\Documents\Special Projects\Macros\ESG Macros" then press "enter"
  3. Type in "%" and macro name that you would like to run.  Then press "enter" on keyboard
  4. Now the rest of the prompts are specific to the macros.  Make sure to follow the directions and format the macro requires.  So for date fields if macro states "MM/DD/YY" you must follow that exactly or it will error out.  As you continue to fill in info for each prompt the macro will run after you press enter.
