Possible to use Windows Excel COM Add-in in Excel Mac?

[Nathan Edelman]

I'm running both Office 2016 Windows (via parallels) and Office 2016 Mac, side-by-side on my MBP. I would prefer to use only one version, but I have third-party Windows software that relies on Excel COM Add-Ins for functionality. Under my current setup, I must run Excel Windows anytime I need the functionality provided by the COM add-ins. I would much prefer to run native Excel Mac since that requires much less computing resoures. It seems to me there is no method to run COM add-ins on Excel 2016 Mac? Any idea are appeciated.

Nope, that is not possible. See the post by Govert van Drimmelen in this discussion:
