Hi all, Long story short, I use Excel extensively and probably a bit more creatively than the average person. I’ve been using Claude Code, OpenCode, and Codex primarily for building out the workbooks. As of right now, I don’t use any MCPs, skills, or anything like that to do things in the sheet, like editing queries and VBA. That’s always been a manual step for me. I know Claude has an Excel plugin, but it’s my impression that editing things like PQ M code and VBA modules/sheets/forms inside the workbook is outside the capabilities of that plugin. This leads to sloppy/messy directories with old/deprecated files all over the place. I’ve never used MCP/skills for this. Are there options available that will help with the issues I’m running into? What tools do you use for Excel development? Can they edit PowerQuery queries/functions inside Excel? What about VBA modules/ forms? Thanks in advance ❤️ submitted by /u/LurkinSince1995
