This Excel tutorial explains how to open the Visual Basic Editor in Excel 2011 for Mac (with screenshots and step-by-step instructions).

The first option on the View menu of the Office 2011 for Mac Visual Basic Editor (VBE) is the Code option, which is grayed out until you make at least one Code window visible in the VBE. A common way to open a new code window is to use Insert→Module. A module is like a new word processing document window — it’s blank. To check, choose Tools Macro Visual Basic Editor. On the new topmost menu, choose Insert Module. If you get this far, then VBA is likely fine. On the topmost menu, choose Excel Close and Return to Microsoft Excel.
