Anyone who knows whether is possible to run two or more
macros simultaneously in excel?
not necessary from the same sheet or workbook..
Cheers

VBA gets only a single thread of execution for any given instance of
Excel, so only one macro can run at a time. You can open multiple instances
of Excel and start macros in each of them, although this wouldn't be very
efficient from a processor standpoint. I believe COM add-ins get their own
separate thread, so theoretically you should be able to run a COM add-in
procedure and a VBA procedure simultaneously in the same instance of Excel,
but I haven't verified this myself.
