Visual Basic Support in Mac 2016

Hi

Am I missing something? I've been periodically using the Excel 2016 for Mac updates but quickly abandoned them because my sheets rely so heavily on VBA and support for that seemed to be missing. 

I've updatd to the production version today (15.2)...and it still seems to be the case? The Visual Basic editor is..ahem...extremely basic with no menus, right click functions or anything. No ability to insert new modules either. Shortcuts don't work (breakpoint, run etc). 

What's going on? Is this it? Please tell me there's some security setting i need to switch or something...please tell me there's basically no way to create macros enabled spreadsheets in Office for Mac 2016?

Thanks

Hi Roberto,

You're not missing anything. UserForm support is being built right now and should be available in a few weeks. I don't expect userform support to arrive during the holidays, but I hope we have it before spring.

Thanks Gordon for the answer. I will wait after the holidays the microsoft present for christmas. 

I take this opportunty to wish to everyone a my particolary Merry Christmas. 

Roberto

    I agree, the only feature that ensured I stayed with Microsoft Office was the macro facilities. Now that Microsoft have decided not to support them I'll return to LibreOffice .

    I can't believe I paid for Office 2016 for Mac , now, finding the lack of support for VBA. What a piece of ***!. Excel used to be my go to tool, now Office 2013 (PC) becomes unresponsive and Office 2016 (Mac) has little of the functions I need (or even had in Office 2011 for Mac). Without improvements to the Mac version, there's little point in continuing to use this tool, our  frankly, any of the Microsoft Office suite.

    What a mistake I made!  I deleted Office 2011 before installing 2016.  The missing VBA development enviroment makes this product useless for me and my customers.
