Copying a macro as an add-in

Is it possible to record and save a macro in excel and then turn it into an add-in so that anyone can use it?

Thanks
Sarah

RE: Copying a macro as an add-in

Hi Sarah

Thanks for your question

In principle the answer to your question is yes. All you do is save the workbook containing the macro as an add in file. Click save as and choose excel add in from the file type combo box. You then click on the office button, go to options in use the add ins page to make the add in available


In reality however there are practical problems with recording a macro which would make it very difficult to create some thing that works. You would need to write your code from scratch, and this would require some VBA training

Hope this helps

Regards

Stephen

Excel tip:

Formula for last day of month

In some cases it is necessary to find the last day of a month for a given date. If you use the following formula, you can achieve this, ie; if you have a column of dates, use this formula to find the end of month for each day by using the fill handle. The formula is as follows, and assumes in this example that the first date in question is in cell C5, in any other cell type; =DATE(YEAR(C5),MONTH(C5)+1,1)-1
