I'd never considered turning that option on, and now I know what it does!! One thing, in the text of the article the sub headings showing the two different options read exactly the same. You need to change the second on to "Edit directly in cell – Not activated". Thanks for the article. I’d never considered turning that option on, and now I know what it does!!

The option box is only a 'default edit' setting. Even if the box is ticked, you can have the same effect by clicking on the formula bar when editing. Conversely, if the box is not ticked, you can have your colours in the in-cell formula by clicking on that instead. I agree, but it’s not something that you can only get by unchecking the option box.

A note about this functionality which me made choose this option: double-clicking on the cell will shade (show) the ranges of precedent cells if they are in the same sheet. Otherwise if the precedent ranges are on another sheet the action will take (jump)you to there. The fault with it is when it refers to precedent in multiple sheets. Try it!
