Creating a macro

[tanvir_khan]

Hi:

Is it possible to convert any part of workflow to macro. I'm using below logics in many different workflows and I don't want to repeat this everytime. Is it possible to convert below filter node as input marco [marked as yellow] and join node left as output [marked as yellow]? 

Thanks!

Hi @tanvir_khan 

You can convert the workflow into a macro. You will need to create a batch macro. Please see below for batch and iterative macros.

Write a macro from scratch in Visual Basic
On the Developer tab, in the Code group, click Macros.
In the Macro name box, type a name for the macro. 
In the Macros in list, click the template or document in which you want to store the macro. ...
Click Create to open the Visual Basic Editor.

thanks for your help guys. All I wanted to do is to understand how to create input and output nodes for a macro to receive data from one side of workflow and pass it to the other side after performing some logical filtering. I've figured it out and it's working fine.

A standard macro is good enough for this.
