Is there a "skip" step or a way to "skip" in a macro?

Hi all,

Is there a way to skip steps within a macro?

For example, let's say my macro is set up to export data to 6 different .csv files.  I run this on a weekly basis.  However, let's say some weeks I don't want to update the 5th (for example) .csv file but I do want to update 1-4 and the 6th.  Is there a capability or a way within a macro to provide this sort of "out" or way to run the macro, but be able to exclude certain steps?

Thanks a lot!

Macros are just sequential with no branching or logic functionality.  You would need to build 6 seperate macros and use a process control tool to call them with the logic you require.

What do you mean by process control?  Can you give an example?  Thanks!

I am thinking of a 3rd party application such as UC4, etc.

In a primative sense you could look at simple batch files, if the command line executor returns an ERRORLEVEL value?

Not totally sure it does, just ideas to investigate.

It can be done via siimple batch files. IFs work there.
