And tightly integrated means adding ribbon tabs, modifying the built-in Office app ribbon, intercepting UI events, creating custom windows and other UI elements and integrating new functionality into context-sensitive menu (the menus that appear when you right-click on objects). Importantly, after 25 years since its introduction, VBA is still the only choice for developing tightly-integrated add-ins for both the PC and the Mac.

VBA add-ins can be developed to run on a PC or a Mac but nothing else. Think of it as adding new features or making existing features do things over and over again, faster than a human can. These add-ins were simply known as “add-ins” or the longer term, “application add-ins” and gave third party publishers the ability to either extend the functionality of Office applications or automate them. That then evolved and was adopted by all of the major Microsoft Office Suite of applications such as Excel, Word, Outlook, Access etc. Many years ago, a programming model called VBA found its way into Excel.



As far as I know, the Data analysis is a build-in add-in of Office, we need to enable it and then the tab will disappear.
