An add-in file is an Excel file that contains macros (code) and has the extension “.xla” or “.xlam”. When opened, the worksheets in the file are hidden and the macros are typically accessed through buttons that are added to the toolbar or command menu. Once installed, an add-in will automatically open every time Excel is opened.
Installation Guide
Installing the add-in is pretty easy, and should only take a few minutes. 1. Save the add-in file to your computer.
- Pick any folder on your hard drive that is easy for you to find.

2. Open the Add-ins Menu in Excel.
- Select the Tools menu in menu bar.
- Select the Add-Ins… option.
3. Press the Select… button in the Add-Ins window.
4. Find the add-in file that you saved on your computer in Step 1.
