Convert Excel Spreadsheet To Executable

Convert excel spreadsheet to executable free

Re: How to convert an excel with VB macro into an executable file? I think you're probably using the wrong tool, access would be better suited for this. Things get very messy when you try to have more than one person changing the same excel spreadsheet. XL TO EXE CONVERTER - XLtoEXE. Download Home. Game torrents for mac. This utility converts Microsoft® Excel® files from original XL formats (XLS, XLA, XLT, XLAM, XLSM, XLTM, XLSB, XLSX, XLTX) to EXE format (convert XLS to EXE, convert XLA to EXE, convert XLSM to EXE, convert Excel to EXE).

I made an Excel macro VBA script for the office, and it runs perfectly fine, but I got a request to convert it to an executable .exe file.

I use a Mac and there are many older posts that came up on Google that says to convert it to .vbs and .vb/.vbs (not sure the difference, didn't grow up in Windows) and add a script to just open the Excel application and run my VBA script.

What is the easiest way for me to do that? And is it possible for me to do it in the Mac environment or can it only be done in Windows?

I know that the Microsoft stack was pretty proprietary back in the days, but it's opened up in recent years so I just want to see if there are newer developments, hence solutions that are not in the older posts.

Thanks!

I have prepared lots of Excel based Tools using excel macros. In these Excel Sheets user normally browses Excel files or inputs data as guided by the tool and then runs my macros to generate a desired output. Everything is working fine.

However, instead of distributing these tools as Excel sheets, can I convert my codes to a exe file and distribute it to users who can run it there?

I searched a lot on Excel to exe related threads but didn't get a satisfying answer hence thought of starting a new thread.

This answer might not be satisfying too but the fact is that Excel is no programming tool to produce stand alone applications (exe).

Therefore you need to re-write your project using a real programming language (and tool) like VB.NET or C#. https://morlesobers1975.mystrikingly.com/blog/anime-wallpaper-free-download. VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) is meant to run in applications as its name says (like Excel or other Office applications) but not stand alone.

There is no way of just converting the code (by pressing a button or something) you will need to re-write the whole project/tool completely (by hand) in another programming language if you plan to use your application stand alone (exe) without Excel.

Please note that even if VBA and VB.NET use similar syntax you cannot just copy the code. These are 2 completely different languages and the code needs to be re-written. Even if the result would look similar it is not the same.

Windows 8.1 enterprise activation key. You can only do that if you do it outside excel, write a program in a Windows development tool which is able to communicate between applications. You can use many Microsoft development platforms for this, f.e. C#.

What you want to do is start a process to interfere with another process.

How to do it depends a lot on the targetted windows-version. It is not an easy subject, and I don't know if you really want to go this way. But if you do, Google on inter-process communication and Windows.

Your solution is not the answer to your need. What you actually want is an Add-In file that you can distribute to your users. This file extends Excel and gives users access to your tools, but can be password protected and hidden so users can't mess with it . At it's simplest it's just a case of saving the workbook containing your code as a file of type Add-in, but you do need to rewrite your code to make explicit which workbook you are working with, since ThisWorkbook in your code is the add-in, and ActiveWorkbook is the file that the user has open while using your addin. You will also need to develop menus to give users access to your tools, since they can't see the add-in.
