I started with Word VBA automating my office tasks, in the end, I created three full documents which were administrative process and two models to Oficials Documents from a blank. With Modules and forms.
All my font of knowledges was Docs of Word VBA, Stackoverflow and some e-books.
In the end, I earned a new language to speak, when I was working in office like administrative assistent.
Word VBA is my first language programming that leaded me to python and in acctualy Data Science.

That's awesome that it lead you elsewhere!

VBA gets a bad rap sometimes, but man it was eye-opening to see how much great stuff you could do, especially when you're in an Office-heavy atmosphere.
