Create User Define Function and Macro as an Add-in

We work lot in excel and manage our work with functions and macros. I am here creating the process that will save your time and effort to re-create again and again the same functions or macros.

Here we are going to create Add-in that will automatically load when you open your excel, and the function will be available all the time. So let's start.

Step 1: Quickly create an empty add-in for excel

1. Open excel and Save a blank workbook as a Excel Add-In (*.xlam) in your Add-In folder (%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\AddIns)

5. Click "Add-Ins" tab.
6. Select "Excel Add-ins" from manage dropdown list and click GO
7. Click "Browse" button
8. Select the (.xlam) file that you just saved in step 1
9. Click OK (Make sure you enable)

Step 2: Add custom functions and macros to your personal add-in

1. Go to the Developer Tab on the ribbon.
2. Click "View Code"
3. Click on the project panel you see VBAProject (*.xlam)
4. Click Insert Menu --> Module
5. Copy and paste custom functions and macros to code window.

That's it... we are done.
