I posted previosly:
- option to DISABLE this !!
However, the current comment is about something else (as I belive that some
people really need this feature).
I think that specifications of 'should +1 become a formula' miss totally the
point.
IF I have '+1' or '=+1' it is actually the same. Both cells are equivalent and
the difference is minimal. (It is only a diference IF I need the string '+1',
which is probably a rare event.)
THE PROBLEM
===========
The problem arises for NON-NUMERIC entries, like +A1, +'NAME OF FUNCTION',
+'STRING'. Here the differences *ARE BIG*, if it is only string or formula.
Therefore, I believe THESE situations should be detailed and a SPECIFICATION
should be made available.
As I pointed in my previous post:
- IF +'string' evaluates to a cell or valid function, then this should be
formula
- ELSE, this should be text string
- I use often '--' to describe a result that is not-available (but e.g. the
test was performed, yet did not yielded something interpretable), therefore I
would like that '--' be entered as a string ('--' has indeed a different format
from the templates discussed in the first IF and would be string by default
using my recommendations)
