Practice grid for Mac OS [#permalink] New post   22 Mar 2011, 06:57
Hi All,

I have used Practice grid for my GMAT preparation. Thinking of retaking the test. I used the Excel practice grid (attached) quite a lot for my preparation. I recently got a Mac and when I tried using it, the macro buttons don't work. I tried to 'assign' macros to the buttons in vain. I also tried to save the file in .XLSX format. It worked fine in Windows..but not on Mac. Is anyone here able to get this grid to work in Mac OS?

Thanks for the help!

I have Office 2011! Currently downloaded a trial version and I think it has full functionality.

I know VBA support went away with 2008 but they were supposed to bring it back. Actually, they did bring it back. Let me play with it a bit and I'll get back to you.

I think the problem is that for some reason mac isn't recognizing the button object. I tested the code referencing cells and the code seemed to work. For example, you have code that reads the text of the button. I made it reference a specific cell with that same text and it worked fine. Try getting rid of the objects or find a way to create the objects in mac

Thanks for looking into this.

This is not a file that I created :-); I found it on GMATClub and as I am alien to VBA, I'll probably install Windows (bootcamp) and run Excel there. I hoped to use this on the Mac OS :-(. Anyways, Thanks again.
