I do not know how 'complete' the VB is in Excel 2011 because IIRC, previous versions of Excel for Mac did not have VB. More Less Posted on Nov 28, 2011 1:14 PM.
- Send Mail from Mac Excel VBA code examples. Because there are a few bugs in VBA SendMail in Excel for the Mac and there is no Outlook object model in Outlook 2011 and 2016 like there is in Outlook for Windows we Run a AppleScript string with the built-in VBA MacScript function in the mail examples below for 2011 to get the same or better result.
- I am creating an Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook for both Windows & Mac. One platform on the Mac I want it to run on is Excel 2011. My workbook uses a custom Ribbon tab. Sometimes, depending on what the user does, I want the text of the ribbon buttons to change. So I have code that does this. I know that a custom Ribbon tab is not possible in.
One of the things that I missed in the last version of Excel for the Apple Mac was that VBA was dropped. If you read this blog you will know how useful VBA can be for automating a bunch of different things. So when I loaded up Excel 2011 the first thing I did was test out the VBA. Yep, it works.
The rest of the application looks like it got polished up as well and at first glance seems easier to work with than 2008. It doesn't make my fan turn on immediately either, so I'm much happier using it on my old macbook.

In the Customize section, check Developer in the list of tabs to show. Then click on the OK button.
Select the Developer tab from the toolbar at the top of the screen. Then click on the Editor option in the Visual Basic group.
