Ab Excel For Mac

Aug 18, 2014 - Microsoft explains those concepts right here. To solve it (I'm using Excel for Mac menu style here) do the following: Go to the menu Excel.

[Please note this is a copy of a question I am also asking on StackOverflow. If I get an answer there I will post it here as an update] I work for a team that currently specializes in creating windows desktop (WPF) applications in C#/.NET that interwork with local user instances of Microsoft Excel via Office Interop. I am currently charged with specifying a new product but I’ve been told that the project will not go ahead unless the app can run on Mac as well as Windows – that is, we have to be able to produce a Mac version of the app that can install natively on OSX and interact with the object model of a user’s instance of Microsoft Excel for Mac.

(Running the app in Parallels, Mono or Wine is not a solution because the spec for the app requires that the user machine is not modified in any way. We just have to assume the user has a licenced local copy of Excel running, and work with that which is what we have always done on Windows, where it works great). I think.NET Core is the answer but I can’t find anywhere where it says definitely that we can (or will be able to) access the Excel Object Library from C# when running.NET Core on Mac OSX with a local copy of Excel for Mac installed.

Can anybody point me please to where this has been discussed already, or it not, tell me how I can go about finding out from Microsoft if this is in their roadmap for.NET Core? Hi TechiMe, Based on, it seems it would not support.

I suggest you add comments on this blog to see whether it will be supported. Not sure which is the best way, I suggest you try personal support. Or, I suggest you try in github.

Hi TechniMe, Excel for Mac has limited support for add-ins - there is partial VBA support but otherwise neither the COM object model nor the native Excel C API is supported. Microsoft is actively developing the JavaScript APIs that work across the various platforms, including the web-based version of Excel. The most official response to this issue is the comment from Office Developer Team to a: ' Our focus is on enabling cross-platform solutions using modern web extensions. We’d like for the add-ins and UDF to work across multiple platforms including browser in a seamless fashion with minimal developer effort to make it functional across all platforms.

This means for integrating with Excel for Mac, you have two choices: Find a way to interact with a VBA add-in, or somehow use the JavaScript API. I think you will find both options very frustrating. Nothing else related to COM or.NET is on the horizon. I would suggest you reconsider whether support for Excel on Mac is really a requirement, and perhaps do some market research. In my experience, 'real' Excel users use the 'real' Excel (i.e. The desktop version on Windows).
