Office Scripts
Office Scripts is a JavaScript-based automation tool integrated into Microsoft 365 applications like Excel and Outlook, allowing users to record, edit, and run scripts to automate repetitive tasks. It enables automation of spreadsheet operations, data manipulation, and workflow integration without requiring deep programming knowledge. Scripts are stored in the cloud and can be shared across an organization, enhancing productivity and consistency in Office environments.
Developers should learn Office Scripts when automating Excel-based workflows, such as data cleaning, report generation, or integrating Office data with other systems via Power Automate. It's particularly useful for business analysts, data professionals, and developers working in Microsoft 365 ecosystems to streamline operations and reduce manual errors. Use cases include automating financial reports, syncing data between Excel and databases, or creating custom functions in spreadsheets.
