title: How to remove xla from xls without renaming or deleting xla file?
body: <p>I need to get rid of an XLA (excel add-in) from a spreadsheet, but everything on the web seems to point to renaming/deleting the xla file.</p>
  
  <p>This is not an option as the xla file is used by many other spreadsheets and is on a shared drive.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any other alternatives?</p>
