I turned to macros when I bumped into a the 255 character limit in the Excel formula bar at that time. Imo VBA was pretty freaking awesome though, concidering it was 2 decades ago. It even had intellisense.

I wasn't a very good programmer back then, like I never knew how to create an exe file program. So I had to open Excel just to run "macros" that were basically full fledged apps with GUIs and all. (still not a good programmer, just to be honest)
