And give it a thumbs up. Big Update to the VB Editor for Mac I know many Mac users have been waiting along time for this, and I'm excited to share that an update to the VB Editor is finally here!
Microsoft just released a new build of Excel that contains a new VB Editor, which we use to write VBA macros in Excel. The new VB Editor contains a lot of the features we are used to seeing in the Windows versions of Excel, or Excel 2011 for Mac. In the video above I highlight some of the many new improvements to the editor. Here is a list of the major new features.
Intellisense drop-down menus for auto-filling code. Toolbars with buttons to for commands like: indenting, comment blocks, run, reset (stop), step into, etc. VBA Project, Properties, Immediate, Locals, and Watch windows.
Debugging features and options. Keyboard shortcuts listed next to each command on the top menus. This new VB Editor feels a lot more like the VB Editor we are used to on the Windows version of Excel. The one notable feature that is missing right now is userforms. The latest version (7.1) does not have any features that allow you to create, modify, or even view an existing userform. I'm hoping that will be updated in the near future as well.
You can on the Excel UserVoice site. Microsoft uses this site to help prioritize feature updates, so please vote there if you want userforms back. Even with the absence of userforms, this new VB Editor is a huge leap forward from the editor that was originally shipped with Excel 2016 for Mac.
If you are a Mac user, you will now be able to write macros to help you automate Excel and save time with your job. If you are new to macros or want to learn more, checkout my upcoming.
Get the Office Insiders Fast Pre-Release Build Important Note: You no longer need the Insiders Fast build to get the new VB Editor. You might just need to update Office which can be done from the Help Check for Updates menu. Here is the page with the that lists all the recent updates. To get the updated version you will need to be on an Office 365 subscription and on the Office Insiders Fast Program. That program is free to join and open to everyone. It allows you to download and install pre-release builds of Excel. The latest build is 16.6 at the time of this writing, and it includes PivotCharts and a new VB Editor for writing VBA macros.
Two awesome updates for Mac users. It's really easy to do!
Help Microsoft with Feedback As part of the Pre-release Program, Microsoft would love to get your feedback on how to make pivot charts better. If you find any bugs or have any suggestions you can provide feedback by:. Clicking the smiley face icon in the top-right corner of Excel. Click the “Tell Us What Can Be Better” option. Complete the form and hit Send. The Excel development team will receive the feedback and use it to make Excel even better.
If you are excited about this update, please leave a comment below and let us know. August 4, 2018 Yikes! And thanks Ian!
? Just to clarify, I was referring to the VB Editor that was originally shipped with Excel 2016 for Mac. It wasn’t much of an editor and looked like the following.
No toolbars or debugging capabilities. This new editor is definitely a step forward, even with the absence of userforms. I realize that Excel 2011 for Mac did have userforms, so compared to that it is still lacking features. You can run userforms on the Excel 2016 for Mac.
They will just have to be developed in either a Windows version or Excel 2011. I realize this is frustrating if you are only using Macs. In the past I have used Parallels on a Mac to run Windows, and it worked great. This is another option if you want to get the best of both worlds. Yes, it will come at a price, and no, I don’t get paid by Microsoft. I hope that helps. August 4, 2018 You can also vote for the userforms feature on the Excel UserVoice site.
Here is a link to that page. I added a link in the article above as well. Microsoft uses that site to help prioritize updates based on votes. I think it’s also important to note that Macs still only make up about 8%-10% of total market share for personal computers. And MS and Apple are still competitors.
So those two factors will probably always give priority to Windows versions of Office. Don’t get me wrong. I love Apple products too. Our house is full of them.
We just can’t expect our sports car to be good at off roading ?. Mark - January 9, 2018 Hi Jon, Thanks for your video above. I’m contemplating moving from PC to Mac, and trying (without much success) to understand how complete the VBA implementation is in Mac Office 2016.
I recently tested an xlsm file I wrote in PC Excel 2007 on a friend’s Mac Office 2016, and it choked on trying to create a Word file from within Excel. This uses the lines: Set objWord = CreateObject(“Word.Application”) Set objDoc = objWord.Documents.Add Is there a newer way to do this in the most recent Mac implementation? I read something about sandboxing on the Mac Office, which makes me think “no”.
Wondering in general how complete the port of Excel VBA was to the Mac version.
Microsoft Excel 2016 for Windows is a workhorse of a spreadsheet software, offering powerful methods for summarizing, analyzing, exploring, and presenting your data. Pros Excel comes as part of Microsoft Office 365: Microsoft Excel is the spreadsheet portion of the Microsoft Office applications. For $69.99 a year, get the Office 365 Personal edition, which along with Excel, comes with Word, the word-processing workhorse; PowerPoint, the ubiquitous slideshow app; OneNote, for note-taking across platforms; Outlook, a full-featured email service; OneDrive, Microsoft's cloud storage service; and Skype, for voice and video calls. For $99 a year, subscribe to the Office 365 Home edition, which includes the same productivity apps and lets you share your subscription with four other users.
If you'd rather just buy Office and be done with it, for $149.99, you can purchase the Office Home and Student 2016 for PC edition, which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. Or buy Excel separately: If you don't need the other apps that make up the Office apps, you can get the Microsoft Excel 2016 separately for $129.99. The standalone Excel for Windows includes bug fixes and improvements, but it doesn't get you an upgrade to the next major edition of the software. The standalone version also doesn't include OneDrive services and Skype. Tons of formulas and functions: With formulas, you can perform calculations on data in your Excel spreadsheet, such as finding the total for a row of numbers. You can quickly access formulas via Excel's formula bar. A good part of what makes Excel so powerful is the breadth of its functions, which build on formulas.
Among the most useful are the SUM, IF, LOOKUP, VLOOKUP, MATCH, CHOOSE, DATE, DAYS, FIND, and INDEX functions. Excel also comes with specialized functions for cube, database, date and time, engineering, financial, information, logical, lookup, math, statistical, text, and Web functions. Pivot tables: Along with functions, Excel's not-so-secret weapon is the pivot table. Pivot tables let you quickly make sense of data in rows and columns by analyzing and displaying a summary of your data. Excel also comes with what Microsoft calls 'slicers' - buttons you can click to filter tables or pivot table data. VBA: It is not the beloved Visual Basic, but Visual Basic for Applications, or VBA, lets you automate repetitive tasks and extend Excel, create custom user interactions in Excel spreadsheets, and work with other Office products. You can also add optional commands to an Excel file via Excel add-ins.
Templates: Excel offers a broad collection of templates that give you a running start in presenting your data and let you add polish to your spreadsheet files. You can choose from a range of personal templates, including a back-to-school planner, weekly meal planner, streaming show list, group event planner, money manager, and personal budget manager.
Business templates range from those for a weekly assignment schedule and 12-month calendar to annual financial budget and channel marketing budget. Office in cloud: As with the other apps in the Microsoft Office suite, Excel 2016 lets you store, sync, and edit your spreadsheets online, via Microsoft's OneDrive cloud service. Collaborate: Through OneDrive, you share and work on spreadsheet files with colleagues via real-time collaboration on documents.
Moving across platforms: In addition to the PC version of Excel, Microsoft has spreadsheet apps for Mac, Android, iPhone, and the web via a browser. Read: For a free alternative, Cons Pay for the power: If you need an industrial-strength spreadsheet, you want Excel.
But if you're just doing simple calculations, Excel's price may be a bit much, so you should consider another spreadsheet program, Bottom Line The Windows version of Microsoft Excel 2016 is a powerful, dependable spreadsheet application that can crunch just about any number. If you need the horsepower Excel offers and want to take advantage of pivot tables, the price of Microsoft's spreadsheet software is well worth it.

With the new features in Excel, you'll be telling your data's story in no time. Charts, graphs, keyboard shortcuts and data entry enhancements (like formula builder and autocomplete) immediately make you more productive.
And support for Excel 2013 (for Windows) functions ensures that you can easily share files across platforms. The new Analysis ToolPak offers a wide range of statistical functions, including moving averages and exponential smoothing, and PivotTable Slicers help you cut through large volumes of data to find patterns that answer questions.

IFS for those tired of typing complicated, nested IF functions.
SWITCH evaluates an expression against a list of values in order. MAXIFS returns the largest number in a range, that meets a single or multiple criteria. MINIFS functions similar to MAXIFS, but it returns the smallest number in a range.
