Excel macro
- Sep 03, 2021
A macro sheet, as shown in your photo, is outdated. It was used in Excel 4.0 (released in 1992!) and earlier. Since Excel 5.0 (released in 1993), VBA has been the standard programming tool in Excel.
Although macro sheets are still supported, I would not recommend creating and using them.

That sounds like you got the 64-bit version of Office 2019. To check:
- Select File > Account.
- Click the 'About Excel' button.
- You'll see the complete version info, including whether it's 32-bit or 64-bit.
Some controls that work on the 32-bit version won't work on the 64-bit version, and some code would have to be updated.
The easiest workaround, if possible, would be to uninstall the 64-bit version and to install the 32-bit version of Office 2019.
