Excel Macros

If you want to design and edit macros in an iPad I don’t think that there is an easy way to do it-

However, there’s always a way to do it depending on how far you want to take it! 😁

A couple of things that come to mind you could try;

• Download a Remote Desktop app and sign in to your computer. If you’re on the same network and say want to connect to a PC I would recommend using the app ‘Microsoft Remote Desktop’ found in the AppStore.
• As an alternative to previous suggestion, if you’re not on the same network as your computer but still have your PC or Mac turned on and connected to the internet you could use something like Chrome Remote Desktop plugin or TeamViewer.

Now if you don’t like the Remote Desktop option I do recall having read somewhere that you could install an add-on or something of sorts and either install to the web application of excel or directly in the iOS app itself that would enable office-js / vba / macros but I can’t promise that’s still the case today.

I hope that might help you a bit or at least push you in the right direction to find an answer 😃

I haven’t used Excel in 10 years (I now use Apple’s Numbers application).

This information from Microsoft seems to state that although you cannot create Macros on your iPad, you may still run existing Macros assuming you’re using Office 365.

I got a bit curious myself and found this link from Microsoft explaining how you could use the Web application to do some stuff at least, not sure to what extent tho so give it a quick look 🙂

You responded to me. I suspect you meant to respond to Racer1428.

Haha yeah you’re right, must’ve fat fingered it on the phone. Thanks :)

Replied to the wrong person in the thread but give my answer a quick look if you’d like and see if some of those suggestions could help you out.

Cheers
