Hello Sourav1981
OK the .xlam file extension is used for Excel Add-Ins. It has been a long time since I worked with Add-Ins but these are automated workbooks that are a bit more secure and not really open for user manipulation beyond what the automation allows. It is how you would share a workbook that does a certain function and not have the "Average User" muck it up.
I would suggest to acquire a digital signature and ask the Add-In developer to digitally sign the add in workbook. And you can also save the Add in workbook in a Trusted Location (maybe OneDrive).
As I said earlier its been a long time since I worked with add ins and things may have changed. But I think these options are still worth checking into.
Best of luck!
