VBA documentation.

Represents an above average visual of a conditional formatting rule. Applying a color or

fill to a range or selection to help you see the value of a cells relative to other cells.
Remarks
All conditional formatting objects are contained within a FormatConditions collection
object, which is a child of a Range collection. You can create an above average
formatting rule by using either the Add or AddAboveAverage method of
the FormatConditions collection.
Example
The following example builds a dynamic data set and applies color to the above average
values through conditional formatting rules.
VBA
Sub AboveAverageCF()

' Building data for Melanie

Range("A1").Value = "Name"
Range("B1").Value = "Number"
Range("A2").Value = "Melanie-1"
Range("A2").AutoFill Destination:=Range("A2:A26"), Type:=xlFillDefault
Range("B2:B26").FormulaArray = "=INT(RAND()*101)"
Range("B2:B26").Select

' Applying Conditional Formatting to items above the average. Should appear
green fill and dark green font.
Selection.FormatConditions.AddAboveAverage
Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).SetFirstPriority
Selection.FormatConditions(1).AboveBelow = xlAboveAverage
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font
.Color = -16752384
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Interior
.PatternColorIndex = xlAutomatic
.Color = 13561798
.TintAndShade = 0
End With
MsgBox "Added an Above Average Conditional Format to Melanie's data. Press F9
to update values.", vbInformation

AddIn Object (Excel)

Office 2013 and later
Other Versions

Contribute to this content

Use GitHub to suggest and submit changes. See our guidelines for contributing to
VBA documentation.

Represents a single add-in, either installed or not installed.

Remarks
The AddIn object is a member of the AddIns collection. The AddIns collection contains
a list of all the add-ins available to Microsoft Excel, regardless of whether theyre
installed. This list corresponds to the list of add-ins displayed in the Add-Ins dialog box.
Example
Use AddIns(index), where index is the add-in title or index number, to return a
single AddIn object. The following example installs the Analysis Toolpak add-in.
VBA
AddIns("analysis toolpak").Installed = True

Dont confuse the add-in title, which appears in the Add-Ins dialog box, with the add-in
name, which is the file name of the add-in. You must spell the add-in title exactly as its
spelled in the Add-Ins dialog box, but the capitalization doesnt have to match.
The index number represents the position of the add-in in the Add-ins available box in
the Add-Ins dialog box. The following example creates a list that contains specified
properties of the available add-ins.
VBA
With Worksheets("sheet1")
.Rows(1).Font.Bold = True
.Range("a1:d1").Value = _
Array("Name", "Full Name", "Title", "Installed")
For i = 1 To AddIns.Count
.Cells(i + 1, 1) = AddIns(i).Name
.Cells(i + 1, 2) = AddIns(i).FullName
.Cells(i + 1, 3) = AddIns(i).Title
.Cells(i + 1, 4) = AddIns(i).Installed
Next
.Range("a1").CurrentRegion.Columns.AutoFit
End With

The Add method adds an add-in to the list of available add-ins but doesnt install the
add-in. Set the Installed property of the add-in to True to install the add-in. To install
an add-in that doesnt appear in the list of available add-ins, you must first use
the Add method and then set the Installed property. This can be done in a single step,
as shown in the following example (note that you use the name of the add-in, not its
title, with the Add method).
VBA

AddIns.Add("generic.xll").Installed = True

Use Workbooks(index) where index is the add-in filename (not title) to return a
reference to the workbook corresponding to a loaded add-in. You must use the file name
because loaded add-ins dont normally appear in the Workbooks collection. This
example sets the wb variable to the workbook for Myaddin.xla.
VBA
Set wb = Workbooks("myaddin.xla")

The following example sets the wb variable to the workbook for the Analysis Toolpak
add-in.
VBA
Set wb = Workbooks(AddIns("analysis toolpak").Name)

If the Installed property returns True, but calls to functions in the add-in still fail, the
add-in may not actually be loaded. This is because the Addin object represents the
existence and installed state of the add-in but doesn't represent the actual contents of
the add-in workbook.To guarantee that an installed add-in is loaded, you should open
the add-in workbook. The following example opens the workbook for the add-in named
"My Addin" if the add-in isnt already present in the Workbooks collection.
VBA
On Error Resume Next ' turn off error checking
Set wbMyAddin = Workbooks(AddIns("My Addin").Name)
lastError = Err
On Error Goto 0 ' restore error checking
If lastError <> 0 Then
' the add-in workbook isn't currently open. Manually open it.
Set wbMyAddin = Workbooks.Open(AddIns("My Addin").FullName)
End If
