  • Cells can't contain "function as values" – no support for higher order functions
  • No lambda expressions (changed with newest version of MS Excel it seems)
  • Recursion from circular dependencies conflated to the same layer of cells
  • ...

  • Anonymous/unnamed cell-name-variables as default

  • limitation to (multiple) semi pseudo-infinite 2D grids
  • limitation to total orders
