Answer 1

Here is the basic skeleton code in C# to run a macro (you must add a reference to Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel to make this work)

 Excel.Application xlApp = new Excel.Application();
 Excel.Workbook xlWorkBook = xlApp.Workbooks.Open("C:\\ExcelDirectory\\DATA.xlsm"); // absolute path needed
 xlApp.Run("Formatting"); // method overloads allow you to send it parameters, etc.
 xlWorkBook.Close(true); // first parameter is SaveChanges
 xlApp.Quit();
