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.

VB to Java Converter is intended to reduce the amount of work you'll have to do to convert code to Java, but it is just the first step. Q: Does VB to Java Converter convert VB6 projects to Java? No - the most effective way to convert VB6 to Java is to first upgrade to VB.NET, and then use VB to Java Converter on the resulting VB code. This tool saves your time and helps to create variable out of a string data with ease. This tool allows loading the String URL, which loads String and create a string which can be build as variable. Click on the URL button, Enter URL and Submit. Users can also create string var File by uploading the file. Variable builder Online works well on.

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.

Try the Call scripts from a manual Power Automate flow tutorial to start learning about Power Automate. You can also check out the Automated task reminders sample to see Office Scripts connected to Teams through Power Automate in a real-world scenario.

Besides using all these tools, you can use the in-built feature of Excel (VBA code editor) to convert the Excel data to JSON format. Make a code for it and execute the code; it will do the mapping of Excel columns to JSON object keys and convert the data into JSON.

If you are comfortable in doing coding, then it's a good way for you. Thus, you do not need to explicitly download the above discussed tools to convert your Excel data to JSON format. While you can do it without downloading any software on your system using Excel VBA code Editor.

Tip: Your Excel data must have column names because the first row is always considered as a header.

VBA Code

Following is the complete code for the conversion of the Excel file data to JSON format. Copy this following code and paste this to your respective VBA code editor.

Public Function ExcelToJSON(rng As Range) As String ' Check there must be at least two columns in the Excel file If rng.Columns.Count < 2 Then ExcelToJSON = CVErr(xlErrNA) Exit Function End If Dim dataLoop, headerLoop As Long ' Get the first row of the Excel file as a header Dim headerRange As Range: Set headerRange = Range(rng.Rows(1).Address) ' Count the number of columns of targeted Excel file Dim colCount As Long: colCount = headerRange.Columns.Count Dim JSON As String: JSON = '[' For dataLoop = 1 To rng.Rows.Count ' Skip the first row of the Excel file because it is used as header If dataLoop > 1 Then ' Start data row Dim jsonData As String: jsonData = '{' ' Loop through each column and combine with the header For headerLoop = 1 To colCount jsonData = jsonData & '' & headerRange.Value2(1, headerLoop) & '' & ':' jsonData = jsonData & '' & rng.Value2(dataLoop, headerLoop) & '' jsonData = jsonData & ',' Next headerLoop ' Strip out the comma in last value of each row jsonData = Left(jsonData, Len(jsonData) - 1) ' End data row JSON = JSON & jsonData & '},' End If Next ' Strip out the last comma in last row of the Excel data JSON = Left(JSON, Len(JSON) - 1) JSON = JSON & ']' ExcelToJSON = JSON End Function

In this VBA code, we have defined a function named ExcelToJSON that will later be used in an Excel file for converting Excel data to JSON format. Let's see how it will execute.

Syntax

Now, go back to the Excel file and write the following ROUND() formula in an Excel cell where you want to place the converted JSON result. For example,

=ExcelToJSON(A1:F3)

Currently, we are converting the first two Excel rows data into JSON format only.

Press the Enter key and get the result and see that the data is successfully converted into JSON form. Similarly, you can use this function for more conversion.

For the detailed description of this code, see our next tutorial, where we have explained this code and variables created and used in it.
