I WANT TO GENERATE AN EXE FILE OF THIS.
This is not possible.

Re: How to convert an excel with VB macro into an executable file? I think you're probably using the wrong tool, access would be better suited for this. Things get very messy when you try to have more than one person changing the same excel spreadsheet. Docs.Zone will convert your PDF file into an editable Excel spreadsheet in seconds. Docs.Zone is able to extract data from almost any PDF file (except scanned images). The rows, columns, and table formatting of the resulting Excel file will be absolutely the same as in the original PDF file.

XCell Compiler (aka Excel to EXE converter) is Excel workbook protection software.It provides very easy and hassle free excel to exe conversion. You can convert Excel spreadsheet (XLS, XLSX, XLSM, XLSB file) into EXE application with securely hidden formulas in binary format and protected VBA code. I have build a tool using VBA (.xlsm) and would like to convert it to an.exe file. I would like that excel icon is not showing once converted in to an.exe file (acting as a custom app). Anyone know of a decently quick way to convert excel to an.exe? I see some shady looking sites peddling some software. If anyone knows something legitimate to do this with, I'd appreciate it. Just trying to add a layer for some free tools I'm making for colleagues, keep them from messing things up too badly. You can use full power of the spreadsheet inside your model. Protect your privacy The most effective way to protect your Excel workbook for distribution - is to convert it to binary executable. XlCompiler creates application file which has all formulas and macros converted into machine code. Excel Compiler Main Features. Protect spreadsheet formulas by converting them into binary format. Without this feature, any kind of Excel file copy protection is useless. Compile Excel workbook (XLS, XLSX, XLSM, XLSB files) into an application (EXE File, which requires Excel to run). You do not need to be a programmer to use the product!

There is nothing built-in that will do that, but a Google search has revealed that there are some converters out there, some free and some for a price. Here are two examples (note that I have never used any of these so I cannot speak with any knowledge whether they work or not)..

Wow, I am surprised to hear this as Orlando is a former Microsoft MVP and the link I posted is on the MVPS.ORG website.. only current or former MVPs can secure a webpage there. If there is a trojan attached to his download URL, I wonder if he knows it. You might do him a favor and let him know your virus software kicked up a warning and let him know which virus software you use so he can check it out. A quick look at his site seems to indicate his email address is..

I think he knows that. I use www.virustotal.com to check downloaded files and for his file, 13 of 41 virusscanners shows that this file contains a trojan.
AFAIK all of such 'converted EXE files' needs Excel installed, otherwise it's not possible to open such files. That's why I say it's not possible to build an EXE file from a XLS file.
So how could such aconverter work?
I think he uses virus techniques to build an EXE file that covers the XLS file, the EXE starts Excel, loads the XLS file and use some spy tools to catch keyboard commands to generate a 'protection'. I tried such tools many years ago and this is what I've found (even an infected PC).
However, there are two reasons not to use such a tool:
a.) A file that uses virus techniques is a good place to hide a real dangerous virus.
b.) Even if we assume that the file contains no real virus, if I send such a file to a customer and his virus scanner detects a trojan, I'm quicklier fired as I can say 'Uuups.'

I made an Excel macro VBA script for the office, and it runs perfectly fine, but I got a request to convert it to an executable .exe file.

I use a Mac and there are many older posts that came up on Google that says to convert it to .vbs and .vb/.vbs (not sure the difference, didn't grow up in Windows) and add a script to just open the Excel application and run my VBA script.

What is the easiest way for me to do that? And is it possible for me to do it in the Mac environment or can it only be done in Windows?

I know that the Microsoft stack was pretty proprietary back in the days, but it's opened up in recent years so I just want to see if there are newer developments, hence solutions that are not in the older posts.

Thanks!
