A large number of those using this facility do not understand the resulting codeVery difficult to track and auditDifficult to changeNo defined standardsPotential complexity if people get carried awayetc......
One should always create spreadsheets (or any other code) by keeping in mind that in the future someone else may need to sort out a problem or change the way it works. Introducing complexity or 'being clever' has the potential to introduce errors in the same proportion - therefore rendering the spreadsheet suspect and presumably affecting ones PI
