• Macro Names
If the macro flag in the option flags field is set to 1 (see above), the defined name specifies a macro function or
procedure. The type of the macro is specified by the flags func, vbasic, and funcgroup (all these flags must be 0,
if the defined name is not a macro).
Command macros (macro = 1, func = 0) are shown in the “Select Macro” dialog of Excel. Function macros
(macro = 1, func = 1) are shown in the “Insert Function” dialog of Excel. They will be inserted into the function
group specified by funcgroup. If the flag vbasic is set, the name refers to a macro in the VisualBasic project,
otherwise to a sheet macro.
• Built-In Names
In BIFF2, the built-in names are written with their full name and differ in localised versions of Excel. From BIFF3 on
only an index to a built-in names is stored. If the builtin flag of the option flags field is set (see above), the name
string contains only one character with the following meaning:
!
Character Built-in name Character Built-in name
Consolidate_Area Pint_Titles
Auto_Open Recorder
Auto_Close Data_Form
Extract Auto_Activate (BIFF5-BIFF8)
Database Auto_Deactivate (BIFF5-BIFF8)
Criteria Sheet_Title (BIFF5-BIFF8)
Print_Area _FilterDatabase (BIFF8)
In BIFF5, the name “_FilterDatabase” (used to define filtered cell ranges) occurs as full name, not with its index.
The builtin flag of the option flags field is not set for this name.
