    E: Your formula has a circular reference. I ain’t doing shit till you fix it

    Me: where?

    E: In your spreadsheet, I don’t fucking know

      Excel: taking ages to load a file

      Excel: There is a link to another Excel document, but I can’t access it to update the value.

      Me: Where?

      Excel: To this document.

      Me: … Where can I find the cell that contains this link?

      Excel: I don’t know noises

      Me: What if it is a named variable?

      Excel: Yes.

      It’s ok, you run the expression debugger, which says the first step, which is all of the formula, will result in an error. So helpful.
