Excel VBA: share procedures / macros with users
Hello experts,
I have multiple vba procedures which I would like to share with final users so they can re-use it when they open excel application. I was wondering what is the best way to automatically share with them those procedures. I was thinking to add all those procedures into an add-in file and then share the file however I don’t know if it is the best way.
Thank you very much for your feedback.

Using an add-in is probably the best way, though you might need to rewrite some of the code to ensure it targets the correct workbook.

10 bucks your code will fail.
When writing code for an addin you cannot code a workbook name or a worksheet name when writing the code. Therefore, it is necessary to use ActiveWorkBook or ActiveSheet. You can add a check asking the user if the correct sheet is activated or if the there is a naming convention for the sheets to use, e.g. "Timesheet April", then something like
If Left(ActiveSheet.Name, 9) = "TimeSheet" Then
''code here
Else: MsgBox "Are you sure the correct sheet is activated?"

Thank you very much for your help.
the question here is to find a way to: share procedures with other users and add those procedures in excel tool bar. Is there way to do this automatically through vba?

Make a wokbook holding your VBA functions or an access database, and reference it.
