In Excel 2010 it's really easy for me to make a macro that opens a website, selects data from the website, and pastes it into a workbook.
I've searched everywhere to figure out how I can do it on my Mac running Excel 2011, but I'm guessing that since they are just reintroducing VBA into the Mac version of Office that it may not have the capabilities (yet).
Can you help me figure out how to do this if it is possible?

I own Mac computer products and I use Office 365 for Mac/online. Eight years ago, I designed an Excel macro with vba userform (calculates personal financial stuff). I need to update the macro annually but haven't been able to redesign the userform. Questions...
Has anyone figured out how to redesign the userform within Excel for Mac without having to use a virtual machine/Windows? I would hate to pay for a vm/Windows annually just for one macro update.
I've noticed MS 365 does not allow any macros to run on the web versions. Have you all abandoned ship and gone a different route (ex: Google Sheets)? I would like my file to be accessible from anywhere.
Any helpful advice would be appreciated.
I got a recent problem with Excel.
We are working with macros and it is in a Citrix envoirment.
We are filling an Excel sheet with data that works perfectly fine.
But our coworkers have made themself templates which are getting filled.
Now if you choose the template to be filled it is first pretty slow and then actually freezes/crashes.
What I have recognized when you choose the template like \server\folder\template.xls it crashes but if you choose it like "\server\folder\template.xls" it doesnt but the templates seem not to work as their saved macros won't run.
But what else diffrences between those two Options.
Is it really only macros?
As it seems, we had a problem with the excel Installtion.
There was a problem between Excel 2016 32bit, Excel 2016 64bit and Excel 365.
We made a new clear installation with excel 365 and it worked again.
Therefore still thank you for your help and Ideas.

Have you tried opening the file in another PC (with another office setup)? Sometimes it happens with corrupted installation. You can try repairing office as well:

I have recently installed Excel 2016. I'm unable to access the VB editor, when I try to open it from the developer tab it comes up blank.
Any ideas? I've never come across this before and can't see anything online.
This may be extremely specific, but I use macros a lot in my job. We recently got Excel 2016 for Mac in my office, which is universes better than Excel 2011 except for the VBA editor which has taken a huge hit in functionality and ease of use.
Lately, I've been editing macros using my Excel 2011 personal macro workbook then copy/pasting all code over to my Excel 2016 personal macro workbook, which can be a hassle and is prone to error at some point in the future. Is it possible to have 2011 and 2016 source from the same personal macro workbook, so that when I edit in 2011, it automatically changes what is used in 2016?
If someone has a solution for this, this could also potentially be a great way to share regularly updated macros among co-workers.
I think I have to disappoint you. I don't think this is possible especially because with every change of version (from 2000 to 2003 to 2010 to 2013) there have always been changes in the vba coding. On Mac this is even a bigger issue as they have added and reduced the functionalities over and over again. Also a lot of code that works on office for windows is not working on Mac as the functionality of the Mac OS and the Windows OS are completely different. I have been working on office for Mac 2011 for about 4 months with vba and it has been really hard to create some codes which on windows would have worked easily.
Also would I not recommend doing what you want as functions which may have worked on 2011 may not work on 2016 as they have changed/deletet/recreated functions when changing the Office-Versions before. So this might provide a huge resource for errors.
If I'm wrong with all this I will be happy to learn otherwise :)
But as I said, this is just my point of view and maybe someone more experienced might help you out with a solution.
