    Hey laptopacademy! Unfortunately there’s no current way to view or execute your scripts in Excel for Desktop, though it’s definitely a feature we’re considering moving forward. Could you tell me a little more about how you’d like to use Office Scripts in desktop?

    Great question and thanks so much for asking! 🙂

      It would be great to have a scripting solution that works across both web and desktop. e.g. I can use regular expression (RegEx) functions through VBA or Office scripts, but each method works exclusively on Desktop or Web respectively.
