IIRC they were introduced in XL 4 in 1992. Those macros used a language
called Excel 4 Macro language, and were similar to recording actions in
the UI.

XL5 (ca. 1993) included VBA, which is the current macro language, which,
while UI actions can be recorded, is much more of a true programming
language.
