I use 123 and Excel equally, so I think I know what each provides. What
feature did the OP mention that 123 has?

That said, 123's @@("<<"&path&filename&""&rangeref) works just fine on
closed workbooks, and @@("<<?"&SomeRangeNameHere) is hugely useful. But
@COORD and @REFCONVERT aren't that big a deal.
