It would be a huge step forward if the LAMBDA function were to be implemented
in Calc. I don’t need to tell you how fundamental this is from a theory of
computing perspective. Or to point out how this can improve formulas so
drastically in terms of readability, as complex sub-formulas for intermediate
values that would otherwise have to be repeated in a formula can be assigned a
name and then used repeatedly in a lambda expression. Presumably this would
also avoid having to calculate these complex expressions multiple times. It
also makes calculations feasible that would otherwise be solved via macros,
which of course are to be avoided where possible for several reasons.

For these reasons, I am sure the number of Excel documents using LAMBDA will be
increasing significantly. But even for development just in LibreOffice Calc it
would be a fantastic improvement to have LAMBDA available (that is actually my
reason for being interested in this).
