Post From: MEDIAN() of range in SC non-CLR spreadsheet

Rather than supporting this which is massively complicated:

=MEDIAN(A3:INDIRECT("A"&$J$30+2))

What we will instead do is support the ability to specify a column using the alternative column reference like this:
ID0.SG1

If the Spreadsheet is set to use 1000 rows, this would be equivalent to:
A3:A1002

You need to understand the engineering and development perspective of what you are doing. While something may seem simple like this:
=MEDIAN(A3:INDIRECT("A"&$J$30+2))

This is very complicated to manage this internally and ensure the spreadsheet functions in a correct and logical way. Instead our objective is to provide alternative ways of doing things which accomplish what you need in a more straightforward way.

So this is really the advantage of having our own spreadsheets. Rather than doing something a certain way because the old spreadsheets force you to do it that way, we will find a better and more efficient and orderly way to do that.

So for this reason, we are certain that in the longer-term this is not going to be valid:

IMO, the new spreadsheets are still a long way from being a viable alternative.
