Hello, I have an excel file for work that contains macros. Whenever I enable macros, it then only allows me to open it in 'Read-Only' format. I just downloaded the Office 365 Personal today because I was told by a tech that it would properly open macros. So as far as I know, it is the most updated version of Office 2016. I am running a Macbook Pro on El Capitan 10.11.1. Does anyone know of anyway to open this properly? The contact support I did talk to couldn't resolve it and sent me to 'Professional Support' who said I would have to pay for a Business 365 just so I could get 'Business Support' and they could hopefully fix my issue. Not sure what kind of lame support that is, but they recommend that I come on here to see if my question could get resolved. It was also the only free resolution they provided. Any help would be greatly appreciated! The tech didn't ask enough questions. There is now Office 2016 (which is for Windows) and Office 2016 for Mac. Quite simply, Office 2016 is Office on the Mac, as it should be, without compromising Office’s features or requiring Mac users to conform to a Windows way of working. Excel for Mac now. Office 2016 for Mac Introduction. The new Office for Mac has arrived and it is here to provide you with the best work experience possible. Office 2016 for Mac enables you to work anywhere, anytime and, the best part, you can work with anyone. The Mac version has feeble support for VBA, though it is gradually improving with every update.

Please try this: • Close all Office programs. • Open a web browser and sign in to your Microsoft account at this page: • Click on Services & subscriptions. • Click on Office 365 settings. • Click on the red Install button. • Just to the left of the Install button, it should say Office 2016 for Mac. Hopefully, just below that, there will be a link for you to click on Install previous version. This displays on my page, anyway. • Choose your preferred language and click on the Install button. Office 2016 will be uninstalled and 2011 reinstalled. If there is no link, it's because MS is tracking whether you actually had 2011 installed through Office 365 previously. If you don't have a link there, I'm afraid you'll have to buy a copy of Office 2011. 30 day free trial download!

Quite a few retailers still have stock, just Google for it. In that case the presence of macros may be co-incidental and not the cause of the error message. That message can be triggered by things like the workbook including PivoTable report styles that are not available on Mac or using features that are not programmed for the Mac yet. Without actually looking at the file, it's hard to tell what feature that might be, and the error message is not specific at all. You might ask the sender to save the file as a PDF, so you can at least see what is supposed to appear in the blank area. ![]() I have been praying for a new version of MS Office since 2011 when Microsoft nerfed VB in excel, just spent 3 days downloading updates (including OSX so I could actually upgrade office), and then the latest patch for office 2016 and same old issue. This is so unbelievable. Pretty much makes it so professionals can't use apple machines unless they run VMware fusion or parallels, which to my recollection, requires it's own installation of office -- so sometimes you have to work in OSX and othertimes in Windows on your Mac?! If Apple's Numbers spreadsheet could load the fancy windows based macro heavy spreadsheets with ease, would be workable. But numbers is a child compared to any version of excel for Mac -- even it is really pretty to work with for number driven presentation graphics and tables. Is there no special package or add-on anywhere to give excel for mac the same VB macro capabilities as excel for windows? A UNIX VB library that can be command line installed? ![]() Can anyone at Apple please explain this? Will try microsoft but I'm thinking that excel relies on core files & libraries that are included in windows but not in OSX, so excel is only available in VB nerfed form to OSX/Mac users.
