EXCEL DEVELOPER TAB.. WHERE TO FIND IT?

Don’t worry if you can’t find the Excel developer tab in the ribbon.

Since it is not something that most of the beginner Excel users need on a daily
basis (some might), Excel team has it disabled as a default setting.

Before you can use it, you need to enable it.


HOW TO GET THE EXCEL DEVELOPER TAB SHOW UP IN THE RIBBON

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to get the Excel developer tab in the
ribbon.

Below are the steps for getting it in Excel 2013.

While the screenshots are of Excel 2013, the process is the same in Excel 2007
or 2010.

 * Right-click on any of the existing tabs in the ribbon and select Customize
   the Ribbon. It will open the Excel Options dialogue box.
 * In the Excel Options dialogue box, you will have the Customize the Ribbon
   options. On the right, within the Main Tabs pane, check the Developer option.
 * Click OK.



Now you will have ‘Developer’ displayed as one of the tabs.

Once available, you can use this tab to access all the options within it.


ALTERNATE METHOD TO GET DEVELOPER TAB IN EXCEL RIBBON

There is another way you can get the Developer tab in the Excel ribbon.

Here are the steps:

 * Go to File –> Options.
 * In the Excel Options dialogue box, click on Customize Ribbon in the left
   pane. It will show the Customize the Ribbon options on the right.
 * On the right, within the Main Tabs pane, check the Developer option.
 * Click OK.

This will make the developer tab appear in the ribbon in Excel.

OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN THE EXCEL DEVELOPER TAB

Here are some of the useful advanced options available in the Excel Developer
tab:


 * The Macro Options: There is a ‘Code’ group in the developer tab that gives
   you access to many macro options (such as going to the VB Editor, getting a
   list of all macros in the workbook, record and run the macros, and change
   macro security.
 * Add-ins: The Add-ins options allow you to manage inbuilt add-ins as well as
   new add-ins that you might have added.
 * Interactive Controls: The Control group gives you access to all the form and
   Active-X controls that you can use to insert interactive tools such as a
   scrollbar, combo boxes, checkboxes, radio buttons, etc.

    It worked for me, and it extremely helpful Thanks! I’m just amazed it is not
    something we can just turn on it Excel under options. It seems ridiculous
    that they removed the automatic highlight of the active row during the
    last(?) upgrade. Is there anyway to get this feedback back to MS?

    I’ve been away from VBA programming in Excel for a few years and didn’t even
    have Excel during that time. Decided to get back into programming basically
    for myself and friends and family. Bought the stand alone Excel for $130 a
    few hrs ago and went looking for the Developer’s tab or any access route
    into my VBA program. I even went to Microsoft for some help and tried
    several attempt on the net to find out how to connect again with my macros
    created with VBA. No luck, not on the net, not at three different connects
    with Microsoft help…but FINALLY…your site and God be praised. I found
    EXACTLY what I needed to reestablish my connect with VBA thru Excel. I have
    forgotten much, but this is a good start…now.
    Thank you for this site.
