Default Benifit of AREAS

They need to do more market research. Or maybe they're saving it for Office
2010? I'm sure it's on the to do list (right after fixing COMBIN).

It would be nice to have a CONCAT that would work w/ranges and in array
formulae. I've wanted to do that more than once.

Well, it was either the AREAS(Range) function or the CONCAT(Range, ",")
function. There wasn't room for both!

There was so much demand for the Areas function that it got the nod.

I had to look it up in help to make sure there was such a worksheet
function.
I've never seen anybody use it, FWVLIW.

Yeah. I've never used the Areas worksheet function and was also wondering
about
how it might be useful.
