Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
Finance, HR, operations teams in SMBs and enterprises doing weekly/monthly recurring Excel work. 40 monthly searches shows modest demand; pain signal confirms real productivity need among non-technical users.
Competition & the opening
VBA tutorial services and Excel consultants exist (competition 6/10), but no visual macro builder for spreadsheets competes. The gap is a low-code UI to build macros without writing VBA or hiring developers.

What's hard to build
Translating visual logic to safe, reliable VBA execution is non-trivial; error handling, variable scope, and Excel's API surface are large. Feasibility unknown suggests this is unproven: the question is whether a visual builder can cover enough real-world Excel patterns without becoming overly complex.
Why now
No-code movement eliminates demand for VBA knowledge; millions of Excel users need automation but can't code.
