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 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.
I develop, for our department, an MS Excel add-in that includes a custom ribbon tabs that shows up when user lunch the add-in and hide some MS Excel tabs that we do not needs.
This custom ribbon includes a quit function to unload the add-in.
The problem is that the company does provide some add-in with custom tab.
I would like to know, how I can hide temporary their custom tab and show them when the user quit out add-in.
You can simply enable/disable the company's add-ins, using:
Application.AddIns("name of the add in here").Installed = False
Of course, considering you know the other add-in names.
I have developed a custom Excel 2010 Add-in and custom RibbonBar using VS 2010. When I install the custom Add-in for Excel, the RibbonBar is displayed or shown properly when Excel is opened. BUT, when I double-click the Excel file (.xlsx), the ribbon bar does not show on the Menu.
Please advise.
Few checks that may help
Disable all addins installed and then open a xlsx file by
enabling one addin in turn.
Start excel, create a new excel file
save, close and open it again to check if ribbon appears. If it work
fine for this, there could be some problem in file format or macro
attached with the file
I have an Excel 2003 VBA solution I'm converting to Excel 2007. The solution had a large collection of menus that were used between multiple workbooks. I've created RibbonX to replicate this functionality, but now I'm to the point where I want to make my Ribbon show up on all these workbooks. How do I go about this? When I switch from one workbook to another the Ribbon disappears. This isn't a VSTO solution just to be clear it is straight Excel with VBA. I'm hopeful you don't have to put the RibbonX into each workbook.
You need to save it as an add-in (.xlam), which can then be added by other users. This will keep it visible for all workbooks.
