Placement of Macros CRISTAL macro statements are stored in cells in the worksheet environment. Although macro statements can be located anywhere in the sheet, proper positioning can be important to the efficient structuring of program applications. A location unlikely to interfere with other worksheet procedures or data sets such as the lower right hand corner of the sheet is recommended, and this remote location will not have an adverse effect on the amount of memory required by the worksheet file. Although each macro location might have a particular rationale behind its placement, it may be best to avoid placement of macros directly adjacent to a block of cells where worksheet data is located because of the possibility of conflict between worksheet manipulations and the macro commands. For example, Macros can be adversely affected or lost altogether by insertion or deletion of rows or columns in the area of the worksheet that holds macro statements, or by sorting a cell block which contains a macro statement.
