Office Excel Scripts needs interactive debugging capabilities

Office Excel Scripts needs interactive debugging capabilities, including breakpoints, watch variables, step-through execution, and inspection of worksheet state. These features would significantly improve development productivity and eliminate the need for workarounds such as temporary Return statements, logging to cells, or artificial delays. Debugging complex scripts involving row insertions, looping logic, and worksheet modifications is unnecessarily difficult without modern debugging tools.

I love Scripts, but it needs to be debugged.

We have debugging capabilities in VBA, but NOT Office Scripts. Please Help.

    Great suggestion.

    It is a good idea to post this request here as well: Open Excel, click Help, Feedback, I have a suggestion. Then post your idea just as you did here.
