This looks like a good source.

Concerns:

Excel documents with macros are likely to be flagged as potential security risks.
VBA code is a binary blob, and we won't easily be able to maintain it.
Excel is proprietary: Shouldn't jump through hoops to work with it.

Other options:

Don't even try!
Add VBA to provide regex support in Excel.
Target Google Sheets, which provides a regex function out of the box.
Or target OpenOffice, where regexes can be turned on in the settings.
