Automating Excel for the web with Office Scripts

Michael Alexander’s guide centers on using TypeScript to automate work in Excel’s online version. It starts with basic scripts and advances to techniques for handling data, formatting tables, sorting, and building charts and PivotTable enhancements. Later sections connect Office Scripts with Power Automate, bringing spreadsheet tasks into broader workflows across Microsoft 365 applications. The book’s scope is practical and task-oriented: it addresses recurring spreadsheet processes as well as more complex data manipulation, with examples aimed at reporting and routine operations. Its emphasis on Excel for the web distinguishes it from guides focused on desktop Excel or VBA alone.
