Vba excel для ipad

I have a excel file with VBA macro, this file access Internet to download data and plot a chart.

I want to know if it can be run on iPad?

It won’t run on the iPad itself. If you have already opened it on a computer and it already pulled the data in it might open with a view of the cached data though.

Can you explain it for me in detail?

What can I do?

I just meant that if you already ran the import on your PC or Mac and then saved it, when you try to open it up on your iPad it might be able to show you the information it already pulled in. It won’t run the macro stuff on the iPad, but it could show you what’s already been imported.

I think excel stores a cache of data generated by vlookups, so perhaps it works the same way with the method you are using pull in data. I couldn’t say for sure though since I haven’t tried that myself.

Excel VBA macros won’t even work on the Mac version of Office 2008. So while you could likely get the template of the XLS file itself to load up inside of Pages on the Mac and then transfer it to Pages on the iPad, your macros will be dead.

As of Office 2008 for the Mac, Microsoft dropped VBA support altogether.

MS is bringing VBA back in the next version of Mac Office though.

Yes, but they’ve been quoted as saying that VBA support for Office Mac 2010 may only match that of Office Windows 2004 edition….hardly something to hang much hope on IMO.

I still think the answer here is » No VBA macro support on iPad.» Pages is far too lightweight to handle anything of the sort.

I checked this out myself and I’m pretty sure the consensus was No.

I can’t recall seeing anybody suggesting workarounds either.

Mind you I did see someone suggesting converting to .NET but they didn’t really expand on the idea.

AFAIK, the Mac and the iPad use different OSs (Mac OS and iOS, respectively). Mac Excel, and the rest of Mac Office 2011 run on MacOS. I have not seen any reports of Office running on iOS. Also, from my limited tests it appears that the Mac Office 2011 VBA feature set is the equivalent of VBA on Windows Office 97!

There may be iOS products that work with Excel files. Based on my experience with claims and tests of other products running on other platforms, I am skeptical about how faithfully such a product will emulate Excel’s behavior.

Does anyone know if you can run Excel and VBA with an iPad 2? Our company is running a pilot program with iPads. My only previous use for Macs to use them as visual indicators for people who don’t actually do any work, but rather enjoy appearing very busy. So, at some point, one of our division heads received enough requests and input from people saying that we should use iPads at work. EVERYTHING we do is Microsoft based, so to me the idea was ludicrous when it was first proposed. So now we have a pilot program, and I’ve been tasked with leading the program from my division head. I have the task of assessing their usefulness in the workplace. I think I was chosen because I’m somewhat tech savvy and I’m known as an apple-hater. So anyway, here are the questions that I believe that my trusty friends who frequent MrExcel can help me answer so that I can find a way to put these **** toys to work for me.

1) Can Ipad 2 run excel and VBA macros? (i googled this question, couldn’t find a solid response)
2) If not, is there a comparable scripting language for apple products that iPads can utilize?
3) WHERE IS THE MINIMIZE BUTTON????????????????????????????

Alrighty, thanks. and next time I’ll be back in my normal mode of posing more codey questions which everyone is more comfortable with.

My wife and I gave each other an iPad for Christmas — it really is a fun appliance.

But something that would run Excel and VBA would be more fun (to me). Unfortunately, the first app you’d need to load would be a 500-pound anti-virus app.

Hi folks, I am running into brick walls with macros on the iPad. My only suggestion would be to add your vote to quickoffice ideas website. Quick office is a Microsoft office viewer/editing tool for the iPad. They have a voting service for ideas to implement and if enough people vote they may work on fitting this in. I know that quick office works with macros on the Samsung android device so they have provided this support before.

Hi Joe

Did you ever find a solution for this?

And did you ever test OnLive Desktop as a possibility? It’s not available where I am yet but I think it *might* be the answer.

I’d be grateful for any help you can offer!

Joe: The only way I can think to address the need for automation is to consider Scripts within Google docs (spreadsheet included). I just read about this recently here: Google Apps Script — The Programmer’s Library. Another man that I actually «met» here at MrExcel now does a blog on Google docs that is very enlightening: Cloud Computing — Google Docs Way. The good thing is that since it is cloud based, these scripts should run on any tablet as long as the security is set correctly.

Sadly, upper mgmt doesn’t always make insightful decisions especially when it comes to technology. I know what it feels like to be told «make it work» when the only intelligent reply is: «You can’t get blood out of turnip.» However, as has been cited, none of the tablet OS’s support VBA.

Hey everyone, I just want to let you know that I think I found the solution! Here are the steps you’ll need to take:

1) Throw away your iPad.
2) Wait until mid-february and purchase the surface pro.
3) …profit!
4) Also, rest easy knowing that the pro will have the full version of adobe acrobat so you can run all that javascript you crapped into those PDF’s.
