Looking For Reviews of the Best Excel Add-ins

[cricket1001]

I am trying to figure out the best add-ins to get. Also, if you use add-ins to your workbooks & worksheets, will the workbooks and worksheets be able to be used in my work computer that won't have any add-ins? At work we can't have any add-ins. I thought I could get more accomplished at home using add-ins on my home computer and then saving the files to my work computer.

Plus, I'm hoping add-ins will help me with my personal files like creating my budget.
Thanks

Hi. So add-ins come in a number of different flavours, but assuming that the reason you can't have any add-ins at work is because you can't install anything onto the system, then the addin you're probably looking for is a XLA/XLAM addin - these are essentially just Excel files that are designed to be an addin. This means you can load them into your Excel without having to install anything onto your computer system.

References in your workbook VBA to an addin will need to have the same addin installed on the destination computer if the plan is to send it to someone.
