What it does

JADE runs JavaScript automation in Excel through the Excel API. It can edit cell values, formulas, and properties, and create charts, pivot tables, and conditional formats. JavaScript code can access web pages, databases, and APIs. Code can be stored in the workbook or deployed through a GitHub gist, and JADE automations can work with VBA macros and other add-ins.
