- brudgers 12y agoUsing formulas in a spreadsheet is like assembly language programming: explicit memory addressing, jump as the primary control structure, etc. It's all place based. The nice library of subroutines doesn't change how low level the design of a spreadsheet has to be.
- Retra 12y agoOk, that makes sense. It may not be a very clean analogy, but I see what it is getting at.
