This distinction was made because earlier somebody said that "true S# programmers use the macro language only as the last resort". Indeed, the macro language(s) that can be used from excel are definitely programming languages but VBA is not funtional or otherwise interesting in any way. The expressions you put into the cells are kind of functional with a solver which might somewhat remind one of Prolog and constraint solving systems based off it but I have no idea how it works internally and how formulating problems to be solvable in Excel compares to formulating problems to be solvable in constraint solvers. As for Turing completeness, game of life or x86 machine code is Turing complete and nobody in their right mind would call it a programming language. Calling something a programming language does in my book imply that - it is meant to be used by humans - it is meant to give instructions to some system, such as a computer, an application, etc. This implies that Excel is not a programming language but the expressions in its cells or VBA which can be used from Excel might, meaning that Excel is an application that includes or integrates one or more languages. Since this is further strengthened by the fact the same or similar expressions can be used in other applications (VBA in other parts of MS office, cell expressions in OpenOffice Calc) I would say Excel is not the language but an implementation or a runtime or a development environment for it. Note that a language can be defined eg. in mathematical sense as a set of words which in turn are defined as succession (or string if you want) of symbols of an alphabet which in turn is defined as a set of symbols While this definition is useful for analyzing properties of programming language grammar it is not the definition which makes something a programming language.
