Steps

Only a web browser can record.

If Office scripting is available, "Automate" is added to the menu. Click on this.

Click "Record Actions" to begin recording for Office scripts.

"Record Actions" will appear on the right side.
In this state, operations to Excel will record the script.

As an example, enter "ABC" in cell B2.

Click "Stop" under "Record Actions" to save the script.

Saved scripts will appear in the menu.

Click on the script you wish to run and the "Code Editor" will appear on the right side. Click "Run" in it to execute the script. The same operation is performed in the web browser as in the desktop application.

Click "Edit" to review the code.

This is the script. The recorded operation is to enter "ABC" in cell B2.

Changing B2 and ABC in row 4 to different values will change the target cell and input value.
Clicking "Run" with the following screenshot will set 123 in cell D4.
