Add-in

How can an Excel Add-in (coded in C# and other, not VBA) be made compatible with Mac.

RE: Add-in

Hi Florian,

Thank you for the forum question and the nice feedback yesterday.

It is a difficult question to answer and unfortunately, we do not have any trainers with the experience needed. I have tried to Google it and I have found a link which may be useful and also a bit of information (please see below),

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29626679/does-windows-c-sharp-addin-for-excel-work-for-mac

The latest Office 2011 for Mac supports VBA interface, but there is no NET/Mono or XCode interface for this.

Can you create an Add-in for Mac?
Office 2011 for Mac supports AppleScript. Most of VBA interface which was removed in Office for Mac 2007 was put back. You end-up using AppleScript (via Automator) to code

Will your Add-ins written in Add-in-Express be compatible in Office/Mac?
Both Office 2011 for Mac and Office 2010 for Windows share same VBA interface.

There is support for WordApplication, PowerPointApplication, ExcelApplication. Since C# syntax follows closely to VBA, most of codes written in Windows will be identical in Mac.
