Yeah but you have to have seen the evolution from DOS based, text UI Lotus 123 back in the 80's to understand where it's coming from.
Which itself was a digital representation of the physical spreadsheets accounts used to use.
How did formulas work on physical spreadsheets?
You write them in charcoal pencil and slam a sachet of silver fulminate on the cell. Whisper a brief incantation to Luca Pacioli and raise your palm to find #VALUE!
Eh, could be worse.
You could have #REF! errors instead.
You calculated the formula and wrote it into the spot.
Calculated with what? A slide rule?
Oh god, you just triggered a negative memory with Lotus 123. I'm going to go hug my dog.
LOTUS was the best, nothing since, or perhaps...PCjr wordstar.....
