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 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 add-in for excel, i locked it with password. Now when i try to add button to ribbon, macros are not shown on macros list. When i enter password in vba editor to unlock the project macros are availible on macros list. Does someone know how to let users install add-in and add button to ribbon with asigned macro then project is locked?
Subs are parameterless
I wrote several macro with SAP scripting and other features.
For few of my macros, i need to select a cell, and then run the macro.
All these macros are stored in a add in, hence all my macros are available on every workbook.
I would like to share my addin with my colleagues but I would like to make the macros available from the right click menu.
All pieces of code found here and elsewhere indicate to have a piece of code located in "thisworkbook" tab. Hence the custom right click menu is only available on a specified workbook.
Is it possible to have my macro stored in my add-in accesibble from right click menu for all workbook that I open/use ? like the macro ribbon ?
thank you
Is there anyway to make a macro that can click buttons in the tool bars of Excel? I'm using Excel 2010.
Here's how you can record a macro, which will capture your actions.
For Excel 2010:

For Excel 2013:

In your case, to take this even further, you can do coded UI testing right from Visual Studio. For what you are trying to do, this is even better than only trying to automate a button-click to fire a custom add-in.
Here is a way how you can achieve it with excel 2010:
File->Options->Quick Access Toolbar.
in the "Choose Commands From" list you click "Macros". Select the macro and click add.
If you want change the name of the button you can click "Modify".
Hope it will help you.
