Should we get rid of [formula] tag and use more meaningful tags like [excel-formula] or [google-sheets-formula]?

We currently have quite a few questions tagged with formula. However, [formula] seems so general that I am inclined to replace it to a more specific formula based on the context. Examples:

not constructive

This question cannot be answered in a way that is helpful to anyone. It's not possible to learn something from possible answers, except for the solution for the specific problem of the asker.

Possibly [spreadsheet-formula] would work, with extra tags ([excel] and [google-sheets] already exist) where the question is about something specific to one engine. — Peter Taylor‭ 8 months ago
