Office 2011 brings Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) back to the Mac. If you haven't used VBA before, and don't know why you would, here's a good example of how simple and useful it is. Send Mail from Mac Excel VBA code examples. Because there are a few bugs in VBA SendMail in Excel for the Mac and there is no Outlook object model in Outlook 2011 and 2016 like there is in Outlook for Windows we Run a AppleScript string with the built-in VBA MacScript function in the mail examples below for 2011 to get the same or better result.

Hi!
I need to create an Excel spreadsheet for invoices. I'd like the original to be Invoice 000001. Then, each time I open the sheet, I'd like it to increment +1, i.e., the first time I open the original, it becomes Invoice 000002, and so on.
I've been several hours now searching, and either nothing quite seems to fit, or it;s too advanced for me. I have zero macro experience, SEQ experience, etc., so if you have some thoughts, I would TRULYt appreciate it if you supplied them as though you were talking to your Labrador Retriever!
I know this is a matter of some fairly rudimentary code, but issues like where the code gets pasted, etc., are stumping me so far.
Thanks for any and all help!

Hello. I know that visual basic is supported in 2011 but this code that I have listed below doesn't seem to work yet it did in Excel 2007 (not Mac). Can anyone tell me why it isn't working now? I'm not an expert and have been lucky to find bits and pieces of code in these great forums.
Thanks for all the help.

and as a side note, can someone tell me what format I need to save this file in Excel for Mac 2011 for VBA to work? That may be my problem although I've tried several different formats with no luck.
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeSave()
'Consolidates data from the range a2:f500 for every tab except the one it's part of.
Dim wrkSheet As Worksheet
Dim rngCopy As Range
Dim lngPasteRow As Long
Dim strConsTab As String
strConsTab = ActiveSheet.Name 'Consolidation sheet tab name based on active tab.
If Sheets(strConsTab).Cells(Rows.Count, 'A').End(xlUp).Row >= 2 Then
If MsgBox('Do you want to clear the existing consolidated data in '' & strConsTab & '', vbQuestion + vbYesNo, 'Data Consolidation Editor') = vbYes Then
Sheets(strConsTab).Range('A2:f' & Cells(Rows.Count, 'A').End(xlUp).Row).ClearContents
End If
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each wrkSheet In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If wrkSheet.Name <> strConsTab Then
Set rngCopy = wrkSheet.Range('a2:F500')
lngPasteRow = Sheets(strConsTab).Cells(Rows.Count, 'A').End(xlUp).Row + 1
rngCopy.Copy Sheets(strConsTab).Range('A' & lngPasteRow)
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End If
Next wrkSheet
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
MsgBox 'The workbook data has now been consolidated.', vbInformation, 'Data Consolidation Editor'
End Sub
