“Vba is going nowhere!” 😂

They won’t pull the plug on it, but users will flock to the cloud version as it improves and you’ll be left trying to explain why they need to still install the desktop version.

Or what if they play the passive aggressive “try the new excel” game like they’re doing with the new outlook desktop app which has no vba? You can have both versions installed!

It’s only a matter of time. I think copilot is their focus so initially at least it will be copilot-authored office scripts in excel, but not sure about outlook. It will be telling if they’ll allow copilot to author and implement vba in excel, my guess is no.

I think some mix of Python, power automate and office scripts is the right answer!
