Merge spreadsheet formula tags into single tag

+1
−0

Codidact's Software Development has multiple tags for spreadsheet formulas:

  • excel-formula
  • libreoffice-calc-formula
  • openoffice-calc-formula
  • sheets-formula

It has formula with the tag usage guidance saying "DO NOT USE" as "formula" is an ambiguous tag name. I agree with that.

AFAIK all the related spreadsheet applications use the same spreadsheet formula syntax. Also, all share several spreadsheet function names that work the same way; actually, the spreadsheet applications can save files in a spreadsheet format compatible with other applications and some of them are able to open files from file formats originally created to be used by other spreadsheet applications.

I suggest creating the tag spreadsheet-formula and merging the above tags with this new tag. This will make it easier to handle questions about basic spreadsheet formulas that are compatible with all spreadsheet applications.

Done. I've merged all these tags together and synonymized them.

I've also gone ahead and given you the ability to edit tag wikis - we're in need of people who can curate tags!
