Excel automation script: Can it open or get access to other Excel workbooks
Hi Team, Excel automation script: Can it open or get access to other Excel workbooks. And if not, do you think this might change in the near future. Many thanks James

No, it cannot. But you can use Power Automate combined with Office Script to do things with more than one file.

Thanks for the update JK. Do you see this changing in the future as it will be tedious to do this for larger VBA conversions who are not keen on Python. Cheers

Hi James,
I don't expect this to change, no.

Thanks for the update JK even though it's very disappointing
