It seems obvious to me why "VBA in a cell" is a nonstarter and why making this a formula-level feature is necessary. I'm glad macros have worked for whatever use case in the past, but it can never be a capital-f Feature of excel because it's a security nightmare and microsoft and everyone that uses macros knows this (or should). If you want a platform to succeed, make it capable of satisfying most users needs within its sandbox; using macros is just giving up and working around it.
