Ooh, a 'better alternative' to Excel macros? That's intriguing, I've used macros quite a bit and always felt there had to be something more efficient. Definitely curious to see what Office Scripts are all about.

So it's all about 'pre-recorded steps' for common tasks. That makes a lot of sense, especially for people who aren't coders. It sounds like a much more visual and accessible way to automate things.
