Jeeze. DOES IT MATTER? No of course it doesn't MATTER.
When you try to provide computer support, you'll often find someone is
trying to solve the wrong problem. When you know what they're trying
to do, you are then in a position to help them.
So, yes it does matter.
Trust me. I'm NOT asking the wrong question, neither am I trying to
solve the wrong problem. I am an EXPERIENCED (as in 20 years) user of
all types of spreadsheet, which if you'd read my other ;posts you would
see.
We're not remote-sensing mind-readers.
James Knott has a very valid point, one which I myself have suffered
through over the decades: power user or newbie developer has skills
inadequate to the task, but doesn't know it, so asks "How do I
snagglethrob the doohickey?" when the correct question is, "What's the
best way to make *this* report run faster?" and so let the Expert
possibly come up with an idea that the power user never would have
thought of.
I think many of us, including myself, have a tendency to try fitting a
square peg in a round hole because we know the square peg tool and not
the round hole tool.
