If you can’t see the Developer tab in Excel, don’t worry. It’s not visible by default. However, depending on whether you share the software with others or not, you may not need to enable it. But if you find that the Developer tab is missing, follow these steps:

1. If you are using Windows, click on File in the top menu and select Options from the drop-down menu.
2. Choose Customize Ribbon and locate the Main Tabs section.
3. Check the box next to Developer to turn on the Developer tab.
4. If you are using macOS, click on Excel in the top menu and select Preferences from the drop-down menu.
5. Choose Ribbon & Toolbar and find the Main Tabs section. Look for the Customize the Ribbon category.
6. Check the box next to Developer to enable the Developer tab, and then click Save.

Make sure the Developer tab is now visible on the ribbon. If it is, you’re all set to start creating and running your macros. Keep in mind that the Developer tab will remain visible on the ribbon unless you either disable it in the Options menu or reinstall Excel.
