By design, Google defaults to the first account you logged in with. So, the solution is to set a default Gmail or Google account:

1. Go to any Google site sign-in page in a non-incognito window.
2. Log out of all your Google accounts. Select your profile picture on the top-right and click Sign out from the menu.
3. Go to gmail.com and sign in with the account you want to set as the default account. Remember, the first account you log in to becomes the default always. Test this by signing into any other Google service (like Google Drive) and see for yourself.
4. After signing in to your default account, you can sign in to any other Google account and switch between them.
5. Select your profile image from the top-right. On the menu, choose Add account. Use your credentials to sign in to the account you want to use.

Go to File>Options, open Customize Ribbon to enable Atomate and Developer.

With Excel automate a repetitive task, you can record a macro with the Macro Recorder in Microsoft Excel. Imagine you have dates in random formats and you want to apply a single format to all of them.

Step 1: Enable Developer tab – Macros and VBA tools can be found on the Developer tab, which is hidden by default, so the first step is to enable it.

1. On the File tab, go to Options > Customize Ribbon.
2. Under Customize the Ribbon and under Main Tabs, select the Developer check box.

Step 2: Record a macro

Follow these steps to record a macro.

1. On the Developer tab, in the Code group, click Record Macro.-OR-Press Alt+T+M+R .
2. In the Macro name box, enter a name for the macro. Make the name as descriptive as possible so you can quickly find it if you create more than one macro.Note: The first character of the macro name must be a letter. Subsequent characters can be letters, numbers, or underscore characters. Spaces cannot be used in a macro name; an underscore character works well as a word separator. If you use a macro name that is also a cell reference, you may get an error message that the macro name is not valid.
3. To assign a keyboard shortcut to run the macro, in the Shortcut key box, type any letter (both uppercase or lowercase will work) that you want to use. It is best to use Ctrl + Shift (uppercase) key combinations, because the macro shortcut key will override any equivalent default Excel shortcut key while the workbook that contains the macro is open. For instance, if you use Ctrl+Z (Undo), you will lose the ability to Undo in that Excel instance.
4. In the Store macro in list, select where you want to store the macro.In general, you’ll save your macro in the This Workbook location, but if you want a macro to be available whenever you use Excel, select Personal Macro Workbook . When you select Personal Macro Workbook, Excel creates a hidden personal macro workbook (Personal.xlsb) if it does not already exist, and saves the macro in this workbook.
5. In the Description box, optionally type a brief description of what the macro does.Although the description field is optional, it is recommended you enter one. Also, try to enter a meaningful description with any information that may be useful to you or other users who will be running the macro. If you create a lot of macros, the description can help you quickly identify which macro does what, otherwise you might have to guess.
6. Click OK to start recording.
7. Perform the actions that you want to record.
8. On the Developer tab, in the Code group, click Stop Recording .-OR-Press Alt+T+M+R .

Working with recorded macros in Excel

In the Developer tab, click Macros to view macros associated to a workbook. Or press Alt+ F8. This opens the Macro dialog box.

Caution: Macros cannot be undone. Before you run a recorded macro for the first time, make sure that you’ve either saved the workbook where you want to run the macro, or better yet work on a copy of the workbook to prevent unwanted changes. If you run a macro and it doesn’t do what you want, you can close the workbook without saving it.

Working with recorded code in the Visual Basic Editor (VBE)

You can work with recorded code in the Visual Basic Editor (VBE) and add your own variables, control structures, and other code that the Macro Recorder cannot record. Since the macro recorder captures almost every step you take while recording, you can also clean up any unnecessary recorded code that serves no purpose in the macro. Reviewing your recorded code is a great way to learn or sharpen your VBA programming skills.
