Here's a creation process for you:

zero to 52000 tables in 2.57 seconds. Each with locked labels and formulas. Instantaneous jump to any table.

Snit
But you will not show the type work we have been doing with multiple tables all showing and being interrelated and updating automatically?

owl
I've already shown that.

Great... then point to the video where you created it by scratch (not running a script where you have preset a single task). For that matter, did you ever even get a set of tables on a single sheet where you can update any table and have it flow through without flickering? If so would love to see how.

Snit
With YOUR suggestion, with an open source tool, we saw the hazard: an unknowing person could have lost data. Twice.

owl
We saw you move the goalposts beyond the specifications.

Snit
Yeah, I merely noted I wanted an open file to be renamed

owl
And that specification was met.

Snit
Very, very poorly, sure (as shown by the context I have returned... which you snipped). Really, you offered no REASONABLE solution.

owl
You don't get to change the specification after the fact.

LOL! Yeah, no assuming you have enough common sense to figure out people do not want to lose data. Repeatedly.

Seriously, if you are claiming that concept goes over your head then you must be the world's worst scripter.

It is your responsibility to detail everything you expect from a solution.

The assumption of basic common sense is included in everything I say.

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
