Does this library have a function to name a interval/cell?
For example, in Excel, I can click on the box (left to the formula box) with the cell name (for example A4) and give it a name, and reference this cell with a name. Something like: I name B1 as "income", B2 as "taxes" and B3 as "profit". In the B1 and B2 I write 500 and 200. In the B3 (profit) I write "=income-taxes", and it returns the same as "=B1-B2".

Hi,

That is possible. It is called "defined names". See the following:
