I once made an xlsx with a VBA module and put it in my often-late coworkers’ startup folder. It would check log-on time and if it was between 9:01am and 9.59am it would send an email to the rest of the team apologizing for being late that day.
Stunning that I could do that on what was supposedly a locked-down internal system.
I once used VBA to script and automate 90% of my old desk job. I just needed a way to automate keyboard input and some basic conditional controls.
I couldn’t install python or run batch scripts as the machine was heavily locked down, but luckily MS provided all the tools I needed inside excel. System admins hate this one trick, thanks microsoft!
