Having once had the capability available to use recursion and
temporary variables in a formula (MLAB by Gary Knott), I still
miss it in Excel. I guess it is possible in a macro. It always
seems inelegant to have to calculate something more than once,
like (A1-INT(A1) ). It probably doesn't really make all that
much difference in speed.
