"Why add Javascript to Excel?
Excel already has two programming languages, VBA and ‘M’ in PowerQuery so why add Javascript?

The main reason is portability. Javascript can be easily added to Excel for Windows, Mac and Online because the main Javascript engine is already available. We say ‘easily’, it’s still difficult, but a lot easier than recreating the entire VBA system for the Mac or a browser-based Excel.

Excel Mobile apps will eventually get Javascript features as well.

It doesn’t mean the end of VBA, but it does mean that many developers will prefer to write Excel extensions in Javascript because they’ll work across a wider range of Excel releases."
