Set Required Excel Versions

If your workbook requires features from a specific version of Excel, you can configure your application to check the end-user’s Excel version at runtime.

You can set both a minimum required version and a maximum allowed version. This is useful to ensure compatibility or to prevent use on newer, untested Excel versions.

Enter the corresponding version number in the fields:

• 9: Excel 2000 (version 9.0)
• 10: Excel 2002 (version 10.0)
• 11: Excel 2003 (version 11.0)
• 12: Excel 2007 (version 12.0)
• 14: Excel 2010 (version 14.0)
• 15: Excel 2013 (version 15.0)
• 16: Excel 2016, 2019, 2021, and 365 (version 16.0)
