Enable Developer Tab


Developer tab was introduced in Excel 2007 and continued in later versions but by default it is not activated.  This tab gives you more control over the navigation to macros, add-ins, inserting various form or ActiveX controls, view properties of sheets or XML. If you are serious about learning VBA and stuff, enabling this tab will make your learning much easier. So let’s see how to enable this tab.

In Excel 2010 or later

File tab > Options > Customize Ribbon tab > Under Main Tabs, check place a check mark next to Developer > Click OK. (See below picture)


In Excel 2007

Microsoft Office button > Excel Options > Popular tab > Select Show Developer tab in the ribbon > Click OK.

That’s it. Now you can see a new tab towards the right end named Developer. Go on, click that tab and explore the options available.
