Hi all
First time poster so please bear with me.
I have created an excel document for my business, its quite a big one with a few macros, "before double tap" being the main one. I would now like to use it on a samsung android tablet but it does not seem to be allowing the macros to work. It is currently the free version of ms excel. I know the free version is a watered down version of the main program but does anyone know if the paid for version or if i get office 365 would solve this and allow the macros to work. Or is the tablet version just not set up to accept the macros?
Thank you in advance for any help

AFAIK, Android versions of Excel lack the APIs necessary to run VBA. Doing so would be a major undertaking and is not something Microsoft would be likely to provide for a free product. In the desktop environment, VBA code written for Windows PCs often requires some re-writing to run on Macs - and even then Mac VBA lacks some of the Windows VBA functionality. So, even if MS was to add VBA functionality to Excel for Android, users would probably have to do some recoding (perhaps even a major recoding) for that platform.

Thanks for your reply and clarification on that. Would i be right in assuming that they would work with a windows tablet, so long as i had a version of office installed of course.

Yes, properly-configured tablets running Windows (but not Windows RT) should be able to use Office macros.
