The whole file is one "table" to sc. My tables here are just cell labels above a column add section, so it's not really a named range. Just a cell label. (sc has named ranges, though). You can jump to a cell label with "g <regex>". Labels and formulas are locked.

What does 'locked' mean in sc? The individual labels and formulas can't be edited by anyone without a password?

Or I could try it in Python to see how slow I could make it.

The way to think about python speed is this: the code is purty.

heh, purty is in the eye of the beholder.

You know you love it.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to get Relf to switch to python.

He'll make some excuse for not using it (not that it's for everyone or every situation), but I bet he can write the best obfuscated python code the world has ever seen. Then defend it.
