Today’s guest writer is Kerry Westphal—our resident macro expert.
- Can't quite figure out how to run a macro when using Microsoft Excel 2011 on your Mac? This video will show you how it's done. Whether you're new to Microsoft's popular digital spreadsheet application, new to Excel 2011 or even an expert merely looking to brush up on the fundamentals, you're sure to be well served by this quality video tutorial from the folks at Lynda. For all of the details.
- Set a preference for macro security in Office for Mac.; 2 minutes to read; In this article. Applies to: Office for Mac, Office 2019 for Mac, Office 2016 for Mac In Office for Mac, there are three levels of macro security available, as seen in the following screenshot.
A common feature in well-designed applications is giving users the ability to quickly focus on the data they care about. A search or filter form allows users to specify criteria to limit the records returned. This also enhances performance because the entire recordset is not brought in.
A typical filter form provides unbound text boxes, combo boxes, and other controls where users can build and refine requirements for records to meet in order to be displayed on the form. Allen Browne has a great VBA example here where he uses a filter form to search for clients by name, type, city, level and/or start and end dates. In Allen’s example, the form Filter property is set to a string that is built based on user criteria, and the FilterOn action is invoked.
To accomplish the same goals using macros that run on the Web, let’s walk through an example together. This demonstrates using the BrowseTo action to swap out the subform, TempVars are used to store form criteria and If statements decide which criteria is relevant.
For tracking issues that arise at work, I have a database where I filter issues by words in the summary, person it is assigned to, and the state of their resolution. When I first browse to the form, instead of showing data, the subform is populated with a form which displays a message that says “Select a filter using the Summary, Assigned To and Resolution fields to view the open issues.â€
The On Click event of the search button calls the BrowseTo macro action, which replaces the Issues datasheet contained by the subform with only showing only data that meets the specified criteria.
In the example above, I have specified criteria to limit issues displayed to those with “macro†in the Summary that have been assigned to Kerry Westphal. When I click the search button my macro will run and the filtered records will show.
Before we consider all the criteria, let’s construct a simple macro that considers only the Summary criteria textbox (txtSummary). Once our macro is working, we will add in more logic.
The first thing we will do in the macro is set up the error handler using the OnError action to specify a Submacro named ErrorHandler to be called in case there is an error message to display. Next we will use SetTempVar to assign the value contained by the txtSummary control to a TempVar. If the txtSummary control contains a value, the Like operator is used with wildcards in the Where Condition argument of the BrowseTo action to show the proper records. Otherwise, the BrowseTo action will show all the records. More information about the BrowseTo action can be found here
You can grab the XML here (Note: to copy this XML to paste into the macro designer, use Page->View Source and copy the XML from there).
Now that our basic macro is tested (I did that for us and it works J), we will add another condition to see only the issues assigned to the person selected in the dropdown. We can use the same logic to filter on the Assigned To field that we used for filtering on the Summary field.
In our assignments section at the top of the macro, we will add another SetTempVar action to store the AssignedTo criteria on the form.
- If the AssignedTo criteria is not filled out, the logic we built above to consider Summary criteria for BrowseTo will be executed.
- If AssignedTo critieria is filled out but the Summary criteria is not, only AssignedTo will be considered in the BrowseTo Where Condition.
- If both AssignedTo and Summary criteria are specified, the Where Condition of BrowseTo concatenates them both.
Get the XML here.
We can do a similar check for Resolution criteria. This can continue for as many fields as we want to validate in our filter form to show as many or few records as needed. The macro is below and you can grab the XML for the entire macro here.

Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 is a version of the Microsoft Officeproductivity suite for Mac OS X. It is the successor to Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac and is comparable to Office 2010 for Windows. Office 2011 was followed by Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac released on September 22, 2015, requiring a Mac with an x64 Intel processor and OS X Yosemite or later.
New features[edit]
Microsoft Office 2011 includes more robust enterprise support and greater feature parity with the Windows edition. Its interface is now more similar to Office 2007 and 2010 for Windows, with the addition of the ribbon. Support for Visual Basic for Applications macros has returned after having been dropped in Office 2008.[4][5] Purchasing the Home Premium version of Office for Mac will not allow telephone support automatically to query any problems with the VBA interface. There are however, apparently, according to Microsoft Helpdesk, some third party applications that can address problems with the VBA interface with Office for Mac.[citation needed] In addition, Office 2011 supports online collaboration tools such as OneDrive and Office Web Apps, allowing Mac and Windows users to simultaneously edit documents over the web. It also includes limited support for Apple's high-density Retina Displays, allowing the display of sharp text and images, although most icons within applications themselves are not optimized for this.
A new version of Microsoft Outlook, written using Mac OS X's Cocoa API, returns to the Mac for the first time since 2001 and has full support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.[6] It replaces Entourage, which was included in Office 2001, X, 2004 and 2008 for Mac.[7]
Limitations[edit]
Office for Mac 2011 has a number of limitations compared to Office 2010 for Windows. It does not support ActiveX controls,[8] or OpenDocument Format.[9][10] It also cannot handle attachments in Rich Text Format e-mail messages sent from Outlook for Windows, which are delivered as winmail.dat attachments.[citation needed] It also has several human language limitations, such as lack of support for right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Persian, and Hebrew [11] and automatic language detection. [12]
Microsoft does not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly Outlook through iCloud. Outlook also does not allow the user to disable Cached Exchange Mode, unlike the Windows version, and it is therefore not possible to connect to an Exchange Server without downloading a local cache of mail and calendar data. [13]
Office for Mac 2011 also has a shorter lifecycle than Office 2010, with support phasing out on October 10, 2017.[14] As 32-bit software, it will not run on macOS Catalina, released in 2019.[15]
Editions[edit]
Two editions are available to the general public. Home & Student provides Word, Excel and PowerPoint, while Home & Business adds Outlook and increased support.[16]Microsoft Messenger 8 is included with both editions, and Microsoft Communicator for Mac 2011, which communicates with Microsoft Lync Server, is available only to volume licensing customers.[17] Office 2011 requires an Intel Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later.[18]

The Home & Student edition is available in a single license for one computer and a family pack for three computers. The Home & Business edition is available in a single license for one computer and a multi-pack for two computers. The Standard edition is only available through Volume Licensing.[19] The Academic edition was created for higher education students, staff and faculty, and includes one installation.[20] Office for Mac is also available as part of Microsoft's Office 365 subscription programme.

Microsoft announced Office 2011 in 2009.[21] There were 6 beta versions released:

Microsoft Office Mac Free Download
Access to beta versions was by invitation only,[23] although leaked copies were circulated among Mac file sharing websites.[24]
The final version was released to manufacturing on September 10, 2010,[25] was available to volume license customers a day later,[26] and made available to the general public on October 26, 2010.[27] Service Pack 1 was released on April 12, 2011.[28]
