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. Use VBA add-ins and macros that you developed for Office for Windows with Office for Mac. Applies to: Excel for Mac PowerPoint for Mac Word for Mac Office 2016 for Mac. If you are authoring Macros for Office for Mac, you can use most of the same objects that are available in VBA for Office.
