this is a simple example of the question that I have. How do I use an offset cell in a formula

function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) {
// Get the currently active cell in the workbook.
let activeCell = workbook.getActiveCell();

// Get the cell to the left of the active cell use it in the formula.
let leftCell = activeCell.getOffsetRange(0, -1);

// Simple formula
activeCell.setValue("=len(leftCell)");

}

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
How about:

JavaScript:
function main(workbook: ExcelScript.Workbook) {
    let activeCell = workbook.getActiveCell();
    
    let leftCellAddress = activeCell.getOffsetRange(0, -1).getAddress();

    activeCell.setFormula(`=LEN(${leftCellAddress})`);

}
