Still Convert Lotus 123 to Excel 2003

[Guest]

I am slowly converting all of our old Lotus 123 (DOS Version Release 2.2)
spreadsheets to MS Excel. However, there are some very complex Macros in
some of these Lotus spreadsheets that are being scrambled or are simply
missing when I convert the documents.

I have used Lotus, back in the early early 1990s, but I can not remember how
to use it now. I do not even know how to write/record a Macro in Excel.

Am I doing something wrong when I convert these documents? Does anyone out
there remember enough about Lotus to help me?

thank you

Lotus 1-2-3 macros won't convert to Excel. You'll have to recreate them in
Excel.
Here's a place to start for Excel macros:

I had withdrawal symptoms for months when the company I worked for switched
from Lotus 2.2 to Excel. None of the macros would convert, and the thing I
missed most was the File Combine Add/Subtract feature which was perfect for
consolidating worksheets.
