Office Scripts and VBA macros have a lot in common. They both allow users to automate solutions through an easy-to-use action recorder and allow edits of those recordings. Both frameworks are designed to empower people who may not consider themselves programmers to create small programs in Excel.The fundamental difference is that VBA macros are developed for desktop solutions and Office Scripts are designed for secure, cloud-based solutions. Currently, Office Scripts are only supported in Excel on the web.

This article describes the main differences between VBA macros (as well as VBA in general) and Office Scripts. Since Office Scripts are only available for Excel, that is the only host being discussed here.

Platform and ecosystem

VBA is designed for the desktop and Office Scripts are designed for the web. VBA can interact with a user's desktop to connect with similar technologies, such as COM and OLE. However, VBA has no convenient way to call out to the internet.

Office Scripts use a universal runtime for JavaScript. This gives consistent behavior and accessibility, regardless of the machine being used to run the script. They can also make calls to other web services.

Security

VBA macros have the same security clearance as Excel. This gives them full access to your desktop. Office Scripts only have access to the workbook, not the machine hosting the workbook. Additionally, no JavaScript authentication tokens can be shared with scripts. This means the script has neither the tokens of the signed-in user nor are there any API capabilities for signing in to an external service, so they are unable to use existing tokens to make external calls on behalf of the user.

Admins have three options for VBA macros: allow all macros on the tenant, allow no macros on the tenant, or allow only macros with signed certificates. This lack of granularity makes it hard to isolate a single bad actor. Currently, Office Scripts can be off for an entire tenant, on for an entire tenant, or on for a group of users in a tenant. Admins also have control over who can share scripts with others and who can use scripts in Power Automate.

Coverage

Currently, VBA offers a more complete coverage of Excel features, particularly those available on the desktop client. Office Scripts cover nearly all of the scenarios for Excel on the web. Additionally, as new features debut on the web, Office Scripts will support them for both the Action Recorder and JavaScript APIs.

Office Scripts don't support Excel-level events. Scripts are only run when a user manually starts them or when a Power Automate flow calls the script.

Power Automate

Office Scripts can be run through Power Automate. Your workbook can be updated through scheduled or event-driven flows, letting you automate workflows without even opening Excel. This means that as long as your workbook is stored in OneDrive (and accessible to Power Automate), a flow can run your scripts regardless of whether you and your organization use Excel's desktop, Mac, or web client.

VBA doesn't have a Power Automate connector. All supported VBA scenarios involve a user attending to the macro's execution.

  I'm trying to develop a sub in Excel VBA to access (and download) a web page into my spreadsheet. This is being done in Excel for Mac 2011.

  
  

  Wile I can see several threads about accessing web pages using URLs in Excel VBA on this site, I found nothing about doing this in a Mac and most of the examples imply using IE and an Excel add-in called msinet.ocx - which is not available for OS X.

  
  

  Is it possible to do what I want in Mac and if so, can i get some guidance as to the Methods, Objects etc. to use in VBA?

  
  

  Many thanks.
