So what I think this does it evaluates which of the boxes are filled when u type in anumberwhich is why the regex checks the column and number. Thats at least what i think
const evalFormula = (x, cells) => {
const idToText = id => cells.find(cell => cell.id === id).value;
const rangeRegex = /([A-J])([1-9][0-9]?):([A-J])([1-9][0-9]?)/gi;
const rangeFromString = (num1, num2) => range(parseInt(num1), parseInt(num2));
const elemValue = num => character => idToText(character + num);
const addCharacters = character1 => character2 => num => charRange(character1, character2).map(elemValue(num));
const rangeExpanded = x.replace(rangeRegex, (_match, char1, num1, char2, num2) => rangeFromString(num1, num2).map(addCharacters(char1)(char2)));
const cellRegex = /[A-J][1-9][0-9]?/gi;
const cellExpanded = rangeExpanded.replace(cellRegex, match => idToText(match.toUpperCase()));
}
