I am trying to add a new button under Fill color in Home tab in excel
I have tried adding my button by going to File > Option > Customize Ribbon but the options are disabled
I want to add my button in "Home" tab
Here is an interesting way of customizing the ribbon in excel (still works in Excel 2016) :

In brief, with the help of CustomUI you will modify part of the file archive in the way that you can remove actual tabs, add your own tab, and custom buttons inside of it
You asked for adding a button in the "Home" tab, a workaround would be recreating "Home" tab in a personnal ribbon tab and adding your own button to it. Your personnal button could trigger a macro sub (VBA) or even use native Excel functionalities.
(I can help you further if you choose this way)
I made an excel macro that retrieves data from other workbooks. I need to add a button to the Excel Ribbon for this Macro. The kicker: I need this button to go into a tab called "Special". This tab was part of an add-in and currently only contains one button. This "Special" Tab cannot be found in the customize ribbon area in the options tab.
Also, would it be better to turn my one macro into an add-in or should I just add the one macro to the ribbon.
Thank you all very much in advanced.
I have an excel document and I am trying to use it for visualization. I have a VBA to hide, sheet tab, formula bar, tool bar, menu bar. it works when I open the document freshly. When I minimize or restore the document, the menu and toolbars show up automatically. I would like to keep them hidden all the time.
I have a Powerpoint file with many charts that I expect many different users to use with their own data. I'm trying to make this Powerpoint as easy to use as possible by writing VBA into each data source (by data source, I mean the default Excel sheet that is embedded in Powerpoint when you select "Insert" > "Chart"). My goal is to allow them to click the chart, select "Edit data," paste info from a PivotTable into the Excel window that pops up, and let the macro does the rest. The code I can write myself, but I have a different problem:
I've tried writing macros in these embedded Excel files but they do not save once they are closed (I assume they must be .xls or similar and not .xlsm). How can I get these macros to save? I've tried drag and dropping .xlsm files into Powerpoint, but it shows the actual charts on the slide and it's difficult to work with. I'd like the Excel files to be hidden from Powerpoint view and easily accessed using the "Edit data" option.
I hope this description makes sense, if not I can explain further / answer any questions.
Thanks!
Can't you just provide PowerPoint charts, and have them paste data into each chart's DataSheet in PowerPoint?
Of late, PPT does its best to convert pasted charts into PowerPoint charts (same basic engine as Excel charts but they're not Excel objects). You can get round this if you copy the chart from XL, switch to PPT and on the Home tab, click the downward pointing arrow below Paste, pick Paste Special and choose to paste as embedded Excel chart object.
You can then doubleclick the pasted object and Excel will launch for in-place editing.
Or you can right-click, choose "Macro enabled worksheet object" or whatever, and then opt to Open or Edit. Edit gives you in-place editing within the PPT window, Open launches the embedded data in a full copy of Excel.
I am using Office 2010 and I want to open a specific Excel from a PowerPoint slide. The PowerPoint slide should look the following:
On the slide I have an object or a link and when I click on that, the desired Excel sheet opens.
I tried to open it via the option: Insert>Object>Microsoft Excel Worksheet this basically gives me a new Excel sheet.
Any recommendations how to accomplish that?
Try Insert>Object>Create from file browse your file and tick the Display as icon box (FYI: Display as icon isn't available to be clicked until you have selected a file)
