So, this questionthis question has been bothering me for a long time now. It is asking for a review of one line of "code" which is really a spreadsheet formula.

Actually, it's not even asking for a review in my opinion. It seems to be directly asking for an alternative, which makes me think that it's SO territory.

I've even considered answering it, but any answer I write for it would not be a review. It would be me writing an alternative solution and "giving OP the codez".

I have a few questions about all of this.

  1. Is this real code? I don't think it is, but it doesn't seem to fit the definition of unreal code.
  2. Is it possible to review a spreadsheet formula at all?
  3. If not, what should the close reason for this question be. None of the existing ones seem to fit correctly.
