Running macro - use other workbook

[MetLife]

Hi,

I am running a macro in one workbook. I want to open and work on another excel workbook.

Is this possible? Excel 2016

Thanks

Sure. You can have multiple workbooks and even multiple instances of Excel open at the same time.
If you mean that you want to do other work in Excel while one Excel macro is running, I would recommend opening a separate instance of Excel, so as not to interfere with the macro running.
