    Hello,

    I have observed that Source Code policy is blocking macro enabled excel files, How do I fine tune the policy to relex macro enabled Excel files?

    Thank you!

    hi

     it may means you have a DLP rule to detect VBA code, so if you dont mind protecting this kind of information you could delete this rule form your policy.

    Or you can add an exception to exclude macro enabled excel files from monitoring (using file type (macro enabled excel) or file name (*.xlsm)).

     regards

    Here is what I do to eleiminate the issue...

    Update the VB Source Code Rule to eliminate certain types of standard built in Macros.

    Attribute\sVB_Name\s=\s"(?!Sheet|Module|This|Chart|User|Content)

     

    Make the following Exceptions:

    1. File Type for Microsoft Excel Macro
    2. asp within 10 of Http and Https

    PLEASE MARKED SOLVED WHEN POSSIBLE

    Good Luck
