MITRE ATT&CK
T1059.005 Visual Basic T1059.001 PowerShell T1105 Ingress Tool Transfer

The Workbook_Open macro executes a PowerShell command to download a second-stage executable from 'http://ddl8.data.hu/get/290492/13081325/YConsoleApp117bg.exe' and save it as 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\orstudy.exe'. The macro also creates a batch file 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\god.bat' which contains the PowerShell command, and then executes this batch file. This indicates a downloader functionality.
