Hi Astrit
A workbook that contains macros will not execute those macros if it is opened in Excel Online.
The macros are still stored in the file on OneDrive, and if you open them in Excel on your PC they will work.
If you want to figure out how to save and share files with OneDrive you can start here

Hi Phil
thanks for your information.
I have another question: is there a chance for example to make a single onedrive account and open that one in two computers for example.
I heard something about trusted location and signed certificates. can I make excel macro accessible from this two computers and update everything in online file?
Thank you in advance!

Hi Astrit,
Yes I think you could log in to the same OneDrive account more than once, I haven't tried it.
But you have the ability to share file sin OneDrive so you don't need to do this. Just share the fil and send the sharing link to the other person/people.
A trusted location is a folder that you store files n and you tell Excel to trust the files in there. So, any macro enabled workbook will automatically have it's macros enabled

Signed certificates are a way to 'sign' or guarantee that a macro is created by someone specific. So if I send you a signed macro, the certificate will tell you that it's from me. if someone sends you a macro and pretends to be me, they can't use my certificate so you can tell it's fake. It's like SSL (HTTPS) for websites.

As OneDrive doesn't support VBA. neither trusted locations not signed certificates apply.
So, you can store a macro enabled workbook on OneDrive, but if you want to use the macros, you'll need to download it/open it on your desktop.

Phil
