Thread: Changing excel version with macros

  1. #1

    Changing excel version with macros

    If I opened the excel file in a different excel version, will I have the same macros I am using?

    You will have the same macros, but whether they work depends on whether the macro uses anything that the version in question supports or not.

    Yes and no

    The macros will (probably) be the same but MS is adding new features and functions all the time

    So if you write a macro that uses features introduced with the latest version, it most likely won't work with an older version, but older version macros should work with a new version

    Same for writing a 64 bit macro and then using it with 32 bit version of office


    Conditional compile might help
