Chapter 22. Building Add-ins

Creating an add-in in Excel is deceptively easy—just save the workbook as an add-in file (XLA). That’s deceptive, because that’s really not all there is to it. You need to combine many of the skills already covered in this book to create effective add-ins for others. This chapter brings those skills together and walks you through the best programming practices for creating add-ins.

This chapter includes task-oriented reference information for the AddIn object.
