I've a lot of documents in excel that using the morefunc's formulas (done with my excel 32bit).
Today i've discovered that there are no other version of this addin. Has the developer abandoned the development?
Unfortunatly this addin works only with 32bit version of excel
What can we do to use our documents in a machine that has installed 64bit version of Office?
There is an alternative for this addin? Something that defined the same functions with the same parameters..
Can't you just install a 32-bit version of Excel? Maybe in a virtual machine or VDI (Virtual desktop infrastructure), if you have troubles installing it on your machine?
While this will require adding macros to your documents, you might want to use VBA to emulate Morefunc's functions. All of them have VBA alternatives.

I have developed a VSTO add-in for Excel and created a setup file to install.
Its working fine in office 365/win10, but I want to check how it performs in different office versions such as 2016, 2019 or 365.
How can i do that ? Is there a smarter way to do it within Visual studio or do i need to create virtual pc for each environment and test them one by one.
You can create a VM and test your MSI there for each supported platform/OS/Excel version. There is no smarter way for that.
I need to run the Microsoft Windows edition of Excel, but I'm using a Mac. I currently have Excel for my Mac, but it doesn't have all the functionality of Windows version. I need the advanced functionality only available in Windows edition. (Using Google Sheets isn't an option in this scenario). I have a license for Excel (both Windows and Mac editions).
I've heard Parallels (https://www.parallels.com/) is one way of doing it, but that would require me to have to purchase additional software.
I've thought about buying another computer, but I don't want to have to carry around 2 computers (one windows and one Mac).
Is there a way I could use Microsoft Azure, or some other cloud service to rent a windows PC, install Excel and access it from my mac?
I found this on pricing for a virtual machine, but it's not clear If it would allow to to accomplish this.

Any suggestions, or experience running the Windows edition of Excel from a Mac?
This might be a bit of a stretch, but have you looked into using Bootcamp? All you have to do is partition a part of your hard drive, then you can boot into Windows and run it natively. Bootcamp is great, as long as you understand the concept and how to use it.
I am trying to read an excel file an can do it using ADO.
My question is, do I need to have office installed when reading an excel file using the Jet.OLEDB Provider?
Currently I'm only testing on pcs that have office installed, that's why I'm asking.Programming language in concern is VB6.
Thanks.
No, you won't need to have office installed, but you will need to have MDAC/WDAC (which contains Jet) installed. On newer operating systems, this is part of the OS. On older OS's (Win 95/98/possibly even 2000), you needed to run an MDAC installer.
No - The Jet driver is used for reading any form of DB files from text files to Excel to Access and is offered my Microsoft independantly of Office.
I've been working intermittently on an Excel spreadsheet for a customer that does some pretty intense calculations. We implemented a security procedure using VBA... At first the requirements were relatively simple, and the overall lack of security in a spreadsheet was discussed and well understood.
Since then the customer has decided that he would like to have the sheet a bit more secure. Under normal circumstances I would simply disable the developer menu via code. Unfortunately I just recently found out that the customer, and many of his customers, are using Mac Office. (There are some customers that are even using 2008 and they found out the hard way that 2008 stopped supporting VBA)
My question is; is it possible to disable access to the Visual Basic editor in Mac Office in versions Pre 2008, and versions 2011 and after since from the research I've done so far points to a return of VBA support in Mac Office in 2011.
Unfortunately I do not have access to a Mac Office version to even really look through the application and or/test different solutions. In Windows it is possible to right click the VBA project and choose protection from the VBAProject Properties and choose "Lock project for viewing". Does this option exist and is it effective in Mac Office?
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I'm pretty sure you can lock projects in Mac Office the same way you can in Windows. Keep in mind that a project that has been locked in one version of Excel cannot be unlocked with a different version. So, if your customer needs to be able to unlock, they will need to use the same version of Excel you used to lock it.
Have an SSIS 2008 package that runs just fine on my local dev machine with Office 2007 installed. It has a script task with interop.excel as a reference. (I'm reformatting some excel sheets with it)
So everything works like a champ until I install and run it on my test SQL 2008 (Server 2008 64bit) server. I install to SSIS, execute it via a SQL Server Job, it runs though most of the steps but then throws an exception when it gets to the script task that needs the excel interop assembly.
I've installed the 2007 PIA and have execution marked as 32bit as well. At this point I'm just kind of lost. Any help is appreciated.
This script task - Is it a .NET script task or a 32-bit script task?
I'm guessing from the interop.excel reference, that its a .NET script task calling out to an old 32-bit library? Can you confirm?
If there is a 32-bit component that you are running on your Win64 environment then you need to be careful about what you are using to register it. By default, regsvr32 is the 64-bit version, so you need to use the regsvr32.exe under c:\windows\systemWOW64 (or something similar). This will ensure the dll is registered in the 32-bit hive of the registry, and available to the WOW (windows-on-windows) emulation environment.
SpreadsheetGear for .NET is an Excel compatible spreadsheet component for 32 bit and 64 bit .NET, and has an API which is similar to Excel's COM API.

I installed Office 2007 on the server I was using. That fixed one problem. Then I discovered another problem that was alleviated by this SO Link
