What Is An Excel Add-in?
An add-in file is an Excel file that contains macros (code) and has the extension “.xla” or “.xlam”. When opened, the worksheets in the file are hidden and the macros are typically accessed through buttons that are added to the toolbar or command menu. Once installed, an add-in will automatically open every time Excel is opened.
Installation Guide
Installing the add-in is pretty easy, and should only take a few minutes. 1. Save the add-in file to your computer.
- Pick any folder on your hard drive that is easy for you to find.
- My suggestion is to create a folder named “Excel Campus” and place it in your Documents folder.
2. Open the Add-ins Menu in Excel.
- Select the Tools menu in menu bar.
- Select the Add-Ins… option.
3. Press the Select… button in the Add-Ins window.

- Then press the Open button.
5. The add-in file should now appear in the list of available add-ins in the Add-Ins window.

6. Installation Complete – The add-in is now installed and should automatically open every time to you open excel.
