VBA in Excel 2016 for Mac does not work proper Hello, I got a problem with the VBA for Mac on 2016. As shown in the picture below, the code does not work proper; I made a Macro, it works fine, but when I want to view and edit the code I run into this screen. I have tried to record a macro using Developer that works when I record it, but doesn't work after I assign it to a button on Sheet 1 or if I try to run the macro from another source. I am in hopes that someone will stoop to answering this simple question, keeping in mind that I am still in diapers when it comes to working with VBA.

Note: This article was originally published on 13 July. I have made modifications on 17 July. The big announcement from Microsoft last Thursday was Ed Bott has a glowing review at. We’ve known for months that Microsoft has been working on Office 2016 for both Windows and Mac.

I’ve been playing a bit with the Office 2016 for Windows preview for a while, but I haven’t done much with the Mac preview. Highlights Mac Office 2016 User Interface The Office 2016 for Mac user interface is very much like that for Office for Windows.

Microsoft has added waterfalls, histograms, paretos, treemaps, and sunbursts. Lowlights Office 365 The Windows Office 2016 preview has only been available through Office 365 (the kludgy online subscription service). I never can remember which of my umpteen Microsoft logins is valid for Office 365, and even when I look it up, the correct user ID and password don’t work the first time. Updating Windows Office 2016 preview versions has never gone without several major hitches for me, followed by complete uninstallation then reinstallation from scratch. Header different first page word for mac.

So far, Mac Office 2016 is only available via Office 365, which Microsoft treats as a good thing. In Windows, installing from Office 365 wipes out any older versions of Office, so you can’t run Office 2007, 2010, and 2013 side-by-side to support different clients. On the Mac, I was glad to see that I could install Office 2016 without wiping out the previously installed Office 2011. I did have to rebuild the LaunchPad links to Office 2011 and put the icons back onto the Dock, but that only wasted an hour. Mac Office 2016 VBA This is the painful one. Mac Office 2016 does still support VBA, of course, and Microsoft has rebuilt the VBA Editor from scratch, which was drastically. Unfortunately the VBA Editor is not really ready to use: you can’t insert new modules or UserForms, and while you can edit existing modules, you can’t even view the UserForms.
