me: my budget should be a spreadsheet not a ~program~ also me: writing half the logic in google sheets API calls

like, my budget contains a bunch of things where I need tax calculations -- this was a bunch of rows that did all the logic but I don't want that cluttering up the thing, and having to copy-paste that whole section for every use, so I replaced it with javascript?

is this normal

what is the normal means of abstraction in spreadsheets? I never really learned how to use them properly

before: a whole sheet just to do my tax calculation after: 50 lines of javascript me: why did I do this again

what I actually want is the ability to treat cells as input/output to functions: what would the value of cell X be if I put these values in cells A, B, C

if you have a sheet that does your taxes, you should be able to abstract over that without writing code

but, you can't? so it's literally just writing assembly where you have to paste each routine inline instead of using registers and jumps

the other thing is that gsheets doesn't recompute cells that use a user-defined function that loads data from another part *of the same spreadsheet*

so I have an income_tax() function that just takes a number as input, not all the bands and rates info b/c that would be unusable; the function looks those up from another sheet
