Why is Microsoft blocking macros in Excel?

How to fix disabled macros in Excel?

I am trying to use data validation on a specific set of columns.

Data validation fails when I enable a hidden control. The macro looks like this:
Dim ctrl As IRange. Application.CommandBars("Data").Controls("DataValidation")
.ControlType = xlDataValidationControlTypeDropDown Dim dv As New dv1.DataValidation Set dv.Type = xlValidateList dv.RefreshAll ctrl = ActiveCell.CurrentRegion Select Case ctrl.Interior.ColorIndex

Case 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Dv.Controls(Add Type:=xlValidationList, AlertStyle:=xlValidAlertStop, Operator:=xlBetween, Formula1:= "=Range("'& Rang &'"):" & ctrl.Address(False, False) Case Else. Dv.Controls(Add Type:=xlValidationInputBox, Title:= "No values are to be expected on columns 1-10". End Select. After the macro finishes running, the data validation is disabled. I have tried both VBA and Power Query. Any ideas on what is going wrong? I found a solution after more research and playing with things around a bit. There were a number of factors that caused the problem.

The macro didn't properly reference the correct worksheet in the Application.CommandBars("Controls(") call.

There is no need for an If statement since Excel is capable of showing input controls by default. Even though the correct references were added, I was missing an event handler (in my case the OnClick method) for the Data Validation control.

How to enable macros in Outlook project?

Ok this question might sound silly, or like I'm lazy and just want to avoid doing manual work, but the thing is I have been tasked with creating a macro that should be a bit of a puzzle.

The macro should send emails in reply to a set number of people within the organization, and then log the sender address in a specific folder for tracking purposes.

I'm fairly new to Outlook, so there are going to be things which I'll probably have to learn on the way.but I've managed to go through tutorials from Office.com, which seem to be quite helpful.

There's one problem though, I need the macro to have access to the sender and recipients of the selected email, as it is the recipient who decides whether the message needs to be logged or not. Right now the macro can only access a generic address called "AllRecipients", and the actual sender, to whom the email has been replied to.

Here is the code I currently have: Sub replyToAll (oMsg As Outlook.MailItem) Dim oRecip As Outlook.Recipients Dim rtnAllAddr As Outlook.AddressEntry 'Debug.Print oMsg.SenderName
Set oRecip = GetUnreadEmailRecipients(oMsg). Debug.Print oRecip.item(1).Address
Set rtnAllAddr = GetFirstUnreadMail(oMsg). If oRecip.item(1).Type <> "Smtp" Then GoTo NoMessages
oRecip.item(1).Close olUnRead
Do Until oRecip.item(1).UnRead <> True Or oRecip.item(1).Type <> "Smtp"
If oRecip.item(1).UnRead = True Then Set oRecip = oRecip.item(1)
Loop. Set oRecip = Nothing. 'This part uses the sender's address, since we can only look at the receiver. Set rtnAllAddr = oRecip.item(2).

Why is Microsoft blocking macros in Excel?

I am currently working on an excel spreadsheet for school, it is about a small business and is used to track costs/pricing.

We use both excel as well as an accounting program (Quickbooks) but I find that Microsoft Excell is a great tool to use and allows you to do many things. I have been using it for the last 3-4 years now and have been working with it. However, when I am trying to record or create a macro now, it tells me that macros are not permitted (on a mac). Is there any way around this problem?
Please help. Thanks. Josiah. Make sure you download a version of Excel that has macros support. That said, it's an entirely different approach, which I don't really like: in most cases macros just don't give you anything more than the standard functions of a normal cell. And the benefit you receive from using excels as an accounting tool diminishes with the added weight of a macro enabled version.

Here's one link in case your university uses a different version: ).aspx To disable macros: Go to Excel Options. On the Compatibility Tab, make sure "Trust access to Office files" is selected (the default). Click OK to close the dialog box. Source: You will need to do this for all versions of Excel.
