Astounding, I've literally never heard of this in the 20 years or so I've been using spreadsheets. I'll be using it from now on!
- WorldMaker 6y agoWelcome to the lucky 10,000 [1] club! It's a fascinating thing about cultural knowledge that stuff that should be taught early in using a tool, people discover anew every day. It's a useful reminder that I also wasn't disparaging the scientists for finding renaming easier than retraining. I'm sure these scientists were very familiar with the costs of learning/relearning. (ETA: Which is why my real joke was about ancient ones and how easily knowledge of the 70s/80s seems ancient and easily forgotten.) [1] https://xkcd.com/1053/ https://xkcd.com/1053/
