In Office 365 MS Excel is blocking Macros for files saved on Network because of recent changes done by Microsoft. Have referred this article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployOffice/security/internet-macros-blocked#vba-macro-notification-settings but nothing has worked.

If I save file on local disc of computer then all macros are working.

Also, in the above article, it is written that by right clicking file , through properties we can unblock. However, this option is also not visible for the same file.

Kindly advice at earliest.

    Hi, @Vishal Mulchandani
    Welcome to the Q&A forum.
    Microsoft blocked VBA macros by default for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio and Access in Office 365 from April. To enable these macros, you need to save the file to a local hard drive, network drive, or cloud storage service such as OneDrive, and then manually unblock the file.

    Hello @Ceasar Chen_MSFT

    Thank you for your reply.

    Actually, I have tried the same but there is no option of Unblock when we right click on file.

    Is there any other option to allow macro/unblock the same.?

    Thanks
