Good day,

Have you ever wanted to DELETE the entire Ribbon Menu from Excel?

This week, I'm going to show you how to do that, not just minimize it, but remove it entirely. Then, we'll create a professional Dashboard interface and button-based navigation system to use in Excel, without the Ribbon or even the worksheet tabs.

[Tiny Tip] How to Unblock Downloaded Excel Files

Have you downloaded an Excel workbook but the macros won't run? Windows may have automatically blocked the file.

How to Unblock the File

  1. Close the Excel workbook if it is already open.

  2. Open File Explorer and locate the downloaded file.

  3. Right-click the file and select Properties.

  4. On the General tab, look near the bottom for the Security section.

  5. Check the Unblock box.

  6. Click Apply, then OK.

  7. Reopen the workbook and select Enable Content if prompted.

Why This Happens

Windows may add a security flag to files downloaded from the internet. Excel treats these files as potentially unsafe, which can prevent VBA macros from running.

Note

Only unblock files from sources you trust, such as from TeachExcel.
