Best AI VBA Code Generators in 2026

This page ranks AI VBA code generators in 2026. Two criteria set the order: where the code is written, and whether you paste it into the VBA editor. Elyx is first. It is an agent inside Excel. You describe the task, and it applies the work in the open workbook. When you want the VBA itself, the free generator on this site returns code you paste into the editor. That page is the tool. This page is the comparison. There is no score. The only prices here are Elyx: Plus at €12/month and Pro at €29/month. It is not the ranking of every AI tool for Excel. It is not the ranking of formula generators.

The free VBA code generator, one macro to copy, is on the Excel VBA generator. This page compares generators.

1. Elyx

   Elyx is an AI agent that works in the Excel file. You describe the task in plain language. Elyx applies it in the workbook, such as a formula, cleanup, a chart, or formatting. When you want the VBA itself, the free generator on this site returns code you paste into the editor. On this list, that generator is the Elyx page for the code.

   Strengths

   • The agent works in the open workbook.
   • The free generator returns VBA to paste, with no account on that page.
   • You can try the add-in for 7 days, with no card.

   Limit. There is no permanent free plan for the add-in. When the 7 days end, Elyx is blocked until you subscribe. The free generator returns code to paste. It does not insert the macro into the editor. Elyx does not run in Google Sheets.

   Price. 7-day trial, no card. Then Plus at €12/month or Pro at €29/month.

2. Microsoft Copilot

   Copilot in Excel edits the open workbook when your account includes it: formulas, charts, PivotTables, and formatting. Microsoft’s help for Copilot in Excel describes those edits. It does not describe writing the macro into the VBA editor. You can ask Copilot for VBA and paste the code into the editor on desktop Excel. Excel for the web does not run VBA.

   Strengths

   • It can edit the open workbook when your account includes Copilot.
   • You can ask it for VBA and paste the result into the editor.
   • The same Copilot also sits in other Microsoft 365 apps.

   Limit. Copilot in Excel needs an account that includes it. The official Excel help covers workbook edits, not installing a macro. Review the code before you run it. Excel for the web does not run VBA.

   Price. Not listed on this page.

3. ChatGPT

   ChatGPT can return VBA from a description of the macro. You copy that code into the Excel VBA editor. OpenAI also offers ChatGPT in a sidebar inside Excel. On that sidebar, OpenAI says VBA and macros may not be fully supported.

   Strengths

   • You describe the macro and get VBA to paste.
   • The same chat can explain a macro you already have.
   • A sidebar also exists inside Excel.

   Limit. The code is text you paste into the editor. OpenAI says VBA and macros may not be fully supported in the Excel sidebar. Review the macro before you run it.

   Price. Not listed on this page.

4. Claude

   In the Claude chat, you can ask for Excel VBA and paste the code into the editor. Claude for Excel is an add-in that works in the workbook. Anthropic lists macros and VBA as unsupported in that add-in.

   Strengths

   • The chat can draft VBA you paste into the editor.
   • The add-in answers questions about the open workbook.
   • The add-in does not replace the VBA editor.

   Limit. Anthropic lists macros and VBA as unsupported in Claude for Excel. The code you get in chat still has to be pasted and reviewed. A macro can change the file, so test it on a copy.

   Price. Not listed on this page.

5. Gemini

   In the Gemini chat, you can ask for Excel VBA and paste the code into the editor. Gemini inside Google Sheets is a different product. In the Apps Script editor, Gemini writes Apps Script, not VBA.

   Strengths

   • The chat can draft VBA for desktop Excel.
   • You do not install an Excel add-in to get that draft.
   • Apps Script help stays on Google Sheets.

   Limit. The draft comes from the chat. You paste it into the VBA editor and review it. Apps Script from Gemini is for Google Sheets, not for an Excel macro.

   Price. Not listed on this page.

6. Ajelix

   Ajelix is an Excel add-in that generates and explains formulas and VBA from a sidebar in the workbook. You can install it in Excel, including from Microsoft AppSource. The result is a formula or a script, with an explanation, rather than a full workbook rebuilt from one instruction.

   Strengths

   • The generator sits in Excel, not in a separate browser tab.
   • It explains the formula or the script it returns.
   • The result is the script, not a rebuilt workbook.

   Limit. It is aimed at formulas and scripts. It does not replace an agent that carries out the rest of the sheet. Review the VBA before you run it.

   Price. Not listed on this page.
