Question

Answer

What versions of Excel on the Mac are supported?

Many of our addins work with Excel 2004 and 2011 on the Mac, but not Excel 2008.

Why can’t I use addins with Excel 2008 on the Mac?

Microsoft removed support for add-ins as well as other cross-platform features from Excel 2008 on the Mac. Many Mac customers were upset by this and MS has since added support back to Excel 2011 for the Mac. However, they never fixed Excel 2008.

 

Are you sure?

Yes, we are sure.

 

How could Microsoft be so stupid?

We don’t know.

I’m using Excel 2011 for the Mac. What do I need to know?

All of our addins that support Mac Excel will work using Excel 2011 on the Mac.  However, the first public releases of Excel 2011 were very buggy.  Be sure to get all the available patches from MS before using our addins.
