Blockpad formulas re-calculate automatically when values they depend on change. This way, numbers are always current.
When a Blockpad formula references a value, then that formula "listens" for any changes to that value. If there is a change to the referenced value, then the formula calculates again with the new number. This is similar to conventional spreadsheets.
Notes:
- Blockpad formulas don't "listen" for changes to external references, so any changes to an external reference must be managed. See the external references page for more information.
