    Hi,

    Unfortunately, to our knowledge, there is no way to run Excel macros on Unix (and hence within DSS)

    Hi,

    Any other way to run VBA code? I mean using Python, R or Shell script language.

    Thanks.

    Hi @sweet_shyam2001
    ,

    While you can probably execute a macro through Python, see here for some hints, it will require to have Excel as an application installed on the machine this is being executed.

    In the context of DSS, I would suggest rewriting the logic from VBA into a Python recipe. This will help you in keeping things transparent since, even if you managed to execute the VBA itself, it would be on a hidden layer from anything else in your project.

    I hope this helps!
