Cloud-first automation with Office Scripts.

VBA only works on Windows desktop Excel and poses severe macro-virus security risks. Office Scripts run on the web, Mac, and Windows, use modern TypeScript, integrate with Power Automate, and are IT-approved — making them the secure, cloud-first replacement.

Office Scripts themselves cannot make direct HTTP requests for security reasons, but they integrate seamlessly with Power Automate which handles API calls, database queries, and email triggers — passing the data to your script automatically.

Complexity depends on the VBA codebase. Simple macros migrate in days, but complex UserForm-based solutions with ActiveX controls require architectural redesign. We audit your existing macros and provide a phased migration roadmap.

Yes. When combined with Power Automate, Office Scripts can be triggered on schedules, by email arrivals, form submissions, or any of 500+ connectors — enabling fully automated Excel workflows without manual intervention.

Office Scripts work in Excel on the web and Excel for Windows (Microsoft 365 subscribers). They do not currently support Excel for Mac natively, though Power Automate triggers work regardless of platform.

Office Scripts are designed for automation workflows, not custom functions. For custom Excel functions, we recommend Office Add-ins with Custom Functions API. We can build both and advise which approach fits your use case.

Office Scripts are code-based TypeScript automations running natively inside Excel. Power Automate Desktop flows are RPA-style UI automations. For pure Excel data manipulation, Office Scripts are faster, more reliable, and easier to maintain.

A typical VBA-to-Office-Scripts migration takes 2 to 6 weeks depending on macro complexity. Simple report automation scripts can be delivered in 1 week. We offer fixed-price engagements for well-defined scopes and time-and-materials for iterative projects.
