Recursion is fun, but how would you use it in a spreadsheet?
- RK 18y agoChanging values in place? A1 = 0.1*A1 Can be useful if you need to convert values, etc., but don't want to create an entire new row/column
- ph0rque 18y agoCan't think of a concrete example at the moment, but there have been cases when I had to make a financial model with a lot of columns (and rows) where a recursive algorithm would have presented the result I was looking for using a lot less cells.
