If a referenced cell is deleted using Delete row/column/sheet command the former dependent cells show #REF! without a hint where it pointed earlier. if these cells are on another sheet this often fatal result of an editing operation remains undetected for a long time. reconstruction often takes hours if possible at all in big sheets. simple example to reproduce A1=1 A2=2 A3=3 A4=A1+A2+A3 now delete row 2 A4= #REF! and shows =A1+A#REF!+A2 suggestion: In case a #REF! is detected a popup message should be raised "Do you want to delete referenced cell(s) A2 ....?" YES/NO - where NO is default. Hope this makes sense for an "office" product.
currently "delete cell" shows a popup for the current cell, which might be good for beginners. But this does not address the real problem of depending cells.
