On the “Excel Options” screen, select “Trust Center” from the sidebar on the left. Then, click the “Trust Center Settings” option on the right.
Once you get to the “Trust Center” screen, from the sidebar on the left, select “Macro Settings.” Next, on the right side, activate the “Enable VBA Macros (Not Recommended; Potentially Dangerous Code Can Run)” option. Then click “OK” at the bottom.
That’s it. Microsoft Excel will now let any spreadsheet run macros.
