Are addins and functions VB subroutines? How can one see the code?

You usualy cannot see the code unless the author of the add-in allows it. Add-ins ARE usually VBA code.

Built in functions on the other hand are not VBA. And no, you cant see the code unless you find some way to hack into or reverse-engineer Excel.

most code writters hide the code dont know why no trade secrets justthe knowledge and kudos i guess, I know a few guys that have allowed access to Addin but XLA are complied so no these are unopenable thats the idea, but as was yes you could if allowed see them, All VBA scripts and vert complex stuff..

this level of code means next to a lot to me .. check out on search engine and see if source code is out there...
