I wrote a .xll plugin and selected Excel add in(COM and Excel Add-ins). It's No problem with plugin execution. But when I close my excel and open again, I found my .xll plugin is not excute and open COM and Excel Add-ins, I found it's unselect. I had to select again, it's could execution normal.
why my .xll plugin can not keep select status. Thank you.
Excel VBA Add-ins and XLL Add-ins both require an entry in the registry.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Excel\Options\
Can you see an entry in the registry ?
When the add-in is ticked, does it load and work as expected ?
Is there anything in your Disabled Items (Excel Options >
Add-ins) change the Manage drop-down to "Disabled Items" and press
Go ?

I have made an add-in ("Funfun") by myself. The manifest files are a little bit messy. Curiously, I cannot remove that add-in from Ribbon anymore in Excel for Mac.
I tried to "reset all customizations", and to re-install Excel, but the Funfun tab is still there. As a consequence, I cannot load the right manifest file to debug that add-in.
Does anyone know how to remove that tab, and start from the very beginning?
According to Excel for Mac documentation:
Remove tabs: You can remove custom tabs only from the Ribbon. To remove, select your tab in the Customize the Ribbon box and click Office 2016 for Mac Customize Ribbon Remove Button
Ref: https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/customize-the-ribbon-and-toolbars-in-office-for-mac-26911d4c-4971-41cd-b606-5fbc0318f499
Try deleting the Office cache to clear out the record of custom buttons and tabs. Details can be found here: Changes to add-in commands including ribbon button and menu items do not take effect.
I have opened an excel file containing VBA password protected (not belonging to me) and from that moment on what happens is that the code remains in the VBA editor even if I close ALL the files (see atteched pic)
Such filed was called treelist and in the VBA editor "solver.XLMA"
Put in other words. Whatever excel of mine I opened now with or without vba code once I click "editor" the first thing I see is that "solver.XLMA" that I can not access nor delete. It is really anoying because I dont know what this code is doing.
(note: yes, I closed excel several times and opened it again. solver.xlma was still there)
As you see in the picture the "solver.xlma" stais even if I close all the excel workbooks.
Some idea of how can I get rid of it and what is going on here?
thx
It is a solver add-in. To turn it off:
Click the File tab, click Options, and then click the
Add-Ins category.
In the Manage box, click Excel Add-ins, and then click Go. The Add-Ins dialog box appears.
In the Add-Ins available box, clear the check box next to the add-in that you want
to deactivade (Solver), and then click OK.
This is the answer:
That's the Solver Add-In. Go to File > Options > Add-Ins, then click Go beside "Manage Excel Add-ins". Uncheck the Solver Add-in and hit Ok
I have a macro function that I have added to an excel file. My question is how can I add the same macro function to a specific set of excel files without copy pasting the macro in each excel vba editor.What is the easiest way to achieve this?
The objective is for the users who have no knowledge on excel macros should be able to easily add Macros to excel and execute it.
If the people who are importing the macros are also the users of these macros you might want to create an add-in out of your vba macro. The procedure is described here. The users would just have to install the add-in on their PCs once(step 4). They can then use the add-in for several Excel-files.
This needs to be done by each user once:
Step 4: Install the Add-In:
Go to Tools > Add-Ins to open the Add-Ins dialog. If you have stored your Add-In in the default location you will see its name displayed in the Add-Ins available: window (if you have stored your Add-In in a different folder, use the [Browse] button to find it). Click on your Add-In's name to see its description at the bottom of the dialog box.
To install your Add-In place a tick in the check-box next to your Add-In's name and click [OK]. [Click the thumbnail below to see a full-sized image]...

As soon as the Add-In is installed its functions will be available in Excel. Find them in the User Defined section of the Function Wizard (Paste Function Tool) or simply type them into a cell as you would any built-in function. The Add-In will remain installed until you return to the Add-Ins dialog and uninstall it by removing the tick from the check-box.
Running Office '10 on Win7
Experience: Some VBA experience, no XML experience
Hi,
I have two issues and an answer to the first may render the second mute.
Q1) Is there a way to get macros in locked add-ins to show up in the QAT macros drop-down? For example, I am running Hyperion and the essexleqd.xla and essexcln.xll add-ins are running. At least some of the macros for these add-ins are visible in the QAT macros drop-down, even though the add-in itself is locked.
Q2) Situation: Excel application is open, but there is no active/visible sheet open. When I go to customize QAT and then select macros from the drop-down, I get an error message and Excel crashes then restarts. Has anyone else encountered this, or know why this happens and has a fix?
Background:
I have a simple add-in that I want to distribute. I have locked it for viewing, but this means that I cannot create a QAT button that references the macro because the macro from the add-in is not visible in the QAT macros drop-down. I have read here (http://www.fontstuff.com/vba/vbatut03.htm) that this happens, but that I should be able to write in the name of the macro somewhere and the button will work.
Q1)
This article should help you.
How to: Create a Custom Menu That Calls a Macro
Q2)
I would guess that they crash because they can't handle that there is no active worksheet open. You probably have to start Excel by opening an empty file in order to workaround the issue.
I have created a VBA in excel 2003 and save it in xla format. This AddIn add a new menu and some submenu in toolbar of Excel. All work well until I upgrade to Office 2007, then I open the xla file. No error message shown, but when I view the macro List, no items there. I open the Visual Basic editor. My old Project (named ML) is still there, but nothing in the Project tree, just default files as when add a new blank project.
I open the xla file with notepad, and my variable, function name are still there. Anyone has experience in this weird behavior, please give me a clue.
Thanks in advance.
Toolbar add-ins generally appear in the add-ins tab of the ribbon in Excel 2007. Make sure you have the add-ins tab displayed (if not you can turn it on under excel options).
If that still isn't working you'll need to go online and read up on altering the code to conform to the ribbon - there are a lot of resources out there should you need to do this.
