Having a 365 account without enabling Macros for mobile devices is rather disturbing. It would be nice to have this update as soon as possible. I have so many sheets that are Macro enabled but cannot run on the mobile version.
Microsoft please look into this feature.

At this point, Microsoft is ignoring requests to improve Office 365 for mobile on any platform that is not their own. They would rather you buy their product, a Surface craptop with Windows 10. It took many years for Mac users to get parity with Windows because MS caters to their clientele first. I have an old Mac Mini running Windows on a Parallels partition. I use my iPad to remote access my Mac Mini to work on Excel when macros are necessary. I’ve also started doing my own Excel templates that don’t rely on Macros, because MS will change this in the future and I don’t want to be caught withe fickle MS breaking my Excel models and templates.

Wow, three years since the original post... this is really needed. Not having this devalues my company’s Office 365 subscription. I have had to migrate all my work onto the iPad and this is the one feature that seriously affects my ability to do work from this app.

I think the same and have important Excel projects that run only with macros VBA. Please Microsoft listen our needs and expectations. Please do that we can "play" macros (not record). Please at least MsgBox and InputBox. Thank you in advance.

Adding vba support to the Android Excel App would be a game-changer.
I have several projects that would be amazing to run on a mobile device. -

I work for a large retailer in Canada. We deal with VBA's in excel on daily basis. Multiple times a day actually. From whats being shipped, to inventory charts....and a lot of times i receive files when i dont have easy access to a computer. It would be nice to have the option on our mobile devices.

I work for a food co-op in Toronto. *All* of our spreadhseets have VBA in them, and why wouldn't they? It's 2020. So for us there really isn't an Excel on Android option, since *none* of our spreadsheets will open on Android. Microsoft will or won't listen to users, as always, but what's actually inappropriate, and should be challenged by consumer and better business groups, is the false statement Microsoft promulgates when it says that it is providing an Excel solution on Android when it isn't. Corporations should not be able to get away with that kind of false statement.

If microsoft sql server can install in mobile and excel running macro can can connect with sql server or other dll file it will big step forward. This will promote windows mobile/tablet. . I have developed an accounting software which works along with exce.https://www.123computers.xyz/account. if this works in mobile i am very happy.

We just need to get someone to build a VBA parser/interpreter. It may be slow, but so what. On PC the VBA is compiled, but the source exists with the workbook so you can edit it. A good start for how is the ASM interpreter challenge on codingame.com. I have offered my services to the moderators and would love the opportunity if the money was right.

Ok, I get it; vba won't run on Android. How about just give a way to stop seeing this irritating & space consuming message?

We are not able to run a macro enabled file in iPhone

If VBA/Macros can not be built into the mobile version; perhaps build it into OneDrive/Microsoft Cloud, and somehow have Excel communicate with the cloud when VBA programming or macro recording is needed.I know this might require an Internet connection, and that’s acceptable if that’s a requirement for this feature to be added.

If not use macros, at least the ability to open a xlsxm file in read only mode for viewing.

I agree with Ron B. I wanted to show a VBA excel sheet i developed to my new employer. Nope can't do. This is not fun.

On Android the only option is to create a virtual windows xp desktop with office 2010 installed, vba and macros enabled, then transfer this *.img file to your Android device, then use either Ibochs or limbo pc emulator apps to run your newly created Xp virtual disk. You will need a powerful device.

I also had this problem with Google Sheets. Macros do not run on Android devices. The only solution I had was to urge my customer to buy Windows-based tablets. (We bought the RCA CAMBIO Windows tablet and it works very well.)
I rewrote the program in Excel which does not have all the restrictions of Google Sheets, especially the requirement to be online.
