You just haven't tried to understand what had been asked. I tried to express
the question as detailed as possible, and included an example of desired
behaviour in form of use case of a built-in function. Have you tried it to see
what is it about?

There's no problem if you need all the range. But the problem arises if you
need just a single cell in the range, when the only thing you know is that the
cell is in the same row (or in the same column) with the cell in which the
formula resides.

Suppose that there are ranges (columns) in the worksheet named "Length",
"Diameter" and "Thickness" describing properties of some pipes. You need to
create a column with the weights of the pipes. You write formula like
"=8,7*Length*PI()*Thickness*(Diameter-Thickness)" and put it to all the cells
in that column. Note that the arguments are _ranges_, not individual cells, but
each resulting cell only uses _one_cell_ from each range, that is in the same
row with that resulting cell.
That is what I want to be able to do in User-defined functions, and something
that seems to be impossible there now.
