- dragonwriter 6y agoNo, AFAIK, VBA is just a scripting layer exposed by Excel, not what Excel uses itself.
- einpoklum 6y agoWhat do you mean by "using itself"? When you write a function in an Excel cell, IIANM it's a VBA function. Excel is implemented in C++ IIRC.
- dragonwriter 6y ago> When you write a function in an Excel cell, IIANM it's a VBA function No, its uses the Excel formula language, which isn't the same as VBA (nor is it a subset of VBA; Excel formula language expressions generally aren't valid VBA.)
- pjmlp 6y agoNot at all, Excel can be scripted in multiple ways, VBA is just one among many.
