Hi, How to enable macros in excel without risking security? Excel disables them by default. What’s the recommended approach?
 
in terms of security, also consider using the 'trusted locations' feature in excel to specify folders where macros are allowed to run, this can help reduce risks associated with malicious macros.
 
in excel 2026, enabling macros also requires considering the 'automatic update of links' setting to prevent potential security breaches from linked files, according to recent excel updates.
 
enabling macros in excel 2026 also involves checking the 'file block settings' in trust center to prevent older file formats from running macros, reducing security risks.
 
considering recent excel updates, it's also crucial to review the 'controlled folder access' settings to prevent malicious macros from accessing sensitive files.
