Office Scripts and VBA macros have a lot in common. They both allow users to automate solutions in Excel. The fundamental difference is that VBA macros are developed for desktop solutions and Office Scripts are designed for secure, cloud-based solutions. At the moment, Office Scripts are only supported in Excel on the web (and in Excel for Teams). The great thing about Office Scripts is that you can use Power Automate to run the script. So you can run your macro without even opening Excel.
