    Assuming that you have installed Nodejs, then simply open your terminal inside VSCode and type `node your_file_name`. If this not what you are looking for, please make your question more clear. – Κωνσταντινος Χαφης Feb 06 '21 at 10:08

On a Mac, open safari develop menu (you may need to adjust settings to see it) and open the menu with the hostname of your Mac. Look for Excel related pages to debug. This will open safari dev tools which has a console log.
