How to convert VBA script to Google Apps Script automatically?

There are a few examples of such “conversions” out there – but they are typically re-implementations, not conversions. It’s a subtle difference, but important. While you could feasibly translate from one language to another, the real challenge is in the differences between the underlying object models and available methods in Excel/VBA vs. Google Spreadsheets / Apps Script / javascript.

Your best chance for success is to use the VBA Sub as a kind of specification; if you can clearly explain what functionality is implemented by a VBA Sub, you have the basis for a specification for a new function implemented in your google spreadsheet.
