Excel: Show developer tools
Excel has developer tools that you can display as a tab. This practical tip shows you how to add the developer tools to your main tabs.
Enable and view developer tools in Excel
With the developer tools you get additional functions in Microsoft Excel. You can then install your own Visual Basic scripts to expand your table individually.
- First go to the "File" tab in Excel and then select the "Customize Ribbon" option on the left.
- Then select the "Main tabs" on the far right in the pull-down menu of "Customize ribbon".
- Now activate the "Developer tools" option under "Main tabs" with a tick.
- Then confirm your decision by clicking on the "OK" button and you can access the Excel developer tools in the future via the ribbon of the main tabs.
