Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
Finance and operations teams heavy on spreadsheets seeking to automate without learning VBA. 40 monthly searches shows minimal organic demand, suggesting this is a service-sell (freelancers advertising macro builds) rather than a self-serve product market.
Competition & the opening
Power Query, Power Automate, and Alteryx handle data automation. Custom VBA freelancers on Upwork/Fiverr dominate the ad-hoc market. Competition 2/10 suggests no consumer-grade product bridges the gap cleanly.

What's hard to build
Building a drag-and-drop macro builder requires parsing Excel object models, formula dependencies, and VBA syntax generation without manual coding. Feasibility 7/10 (harder) reflects the combinatorial complexity of Excel's API surface and the tight coupling between UI and VBA output.
Why now
Excel power users exceed 1 billion globally and no-code macro builders are underserving the segment despite VBA's technical barrier.
