Discover new tools to get things done. ASAP Utilities makes YOU rock in Excel!

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.
