The most reliable automation stays as close to the data as possible. A visual recorder should handle only the parts Numbers cannot express directly.
Put logic in the spreadsheet
Use formulas and table features for data logic; use a recorded macro for repeated navigation, formatting, exports, or cross-app work.
Record the remaining repetition
MacroLoop can repeat a fixed selection-format-export path. Freeze the sheet layout, test on a copy, and use a separate recording for each table structure.
Protect against moving rows
Rows, filters, and frozen headers can move visible targets. Never record formulas or values that should change based on the row.
THE TAKEAWAY
Use Numbers for spreadsheet logic and MacroLoop for the surrounding visible routine.
