Hi, I have created a worksheet in Excel Desktop App, containing buttons and macros, but when I try to open the same in Office 365, it shows an error message on the buttons and they are not working("Excel for the web does not support running or interacting with ActiveX Controls. To use ActiveX Controls, open this file with the desktop app.").Is there any way to enable the same on Office version ??Its an urgent requirement.

Thanks

    Hello
    Please follow the steps below

    File -> Options -> Trust Center -> Trsut Center Settings -> ActiveX Settings -> Then you can select 'Enable all controlls without restrictions and without prompting'

    Note: After your works remember to revert to 'disable all controls without notification' since ActiveX settings are security threat
