I'm not sure what you're referring to. Who is looking over the fence? The OP? Maybe he switched from Excel to OpenOffice Calc and now he can't do something that he could do in Excel, so he writes here to find out how to do it. He could be referring to Excel just as an easy way to explain what he's talking about. I don't consider that ”looking over the fence”. But I'm just guessing here. But I agree that it's not necessarily a good idea to only ”look over the fence”. Just because it's done in one way in Excel doesn't mean that it's the best way to do it.
