ASAP Utilities  › Info & List  ›  21. Create a List of Installed Excel and COM Add-ins

This tool creates a clear and structured report of all Excel and COM add-ins installed on your system. A new workbook is created with the following columns:
  • Title - Display name of the add-in
  • Active - Whether the add-in is currently enabled (TRUE/FALSE)
  • Name - Internal filename or ID of the add-in
  • Full Name - Full file path or location
  • Type - Add-in type (Excel Add-In or COM Add-In) The report reflects the add-ins listed under Excel > Options > Add-ins, including both:
  • Excel Add-ins (.xla, .xlam, .xll)
  • COM Add-ins (.dll) This tool is helpful for:
  • Documenting the add-ins used on a system
  • Troubleshooting issues related to missing or disabled add-ins
  • Creating consistent add-in configurations across multiple installations Note:
    Office Add-ins (also called Web Add-ins or Office.js add-ins) are not included. Microsoft does not make these accessible through VBA or COM.
    These are managed separately under Home > Add-ins or Insert > My Add-ins, depending on your version of Excel.
