Jomali,
I once used it to correct a goof on a cell merge operation when it was
impractical to use undo. I was only creating a form, so I was not
referencing any of these cells. The problem was that the subdivide
required a lot of cleanup to get the cell boundaries aligned again.
Messy, but better than starting over or using undo.

subdividing cells.

OK: suppose you divide cell Xn into four cells- two vertically and two
horizontally. How do you now refer to the four new cells in formulae?
Initially, until some method was developed that made sense, it could just
be a limitation of split cells that you can't use them in formulas.
And maybe it would have to stay that way. None of the times I wanted to be
able to do this was it critical that I me able to use them in formulas.
And which of the now four separate values gets used if you refer to
plain cell Xn in a formula?
Pick one (upper left, lower right, etc). Could even be a pref. Or, as
above, make it unsupported, unless/until a method is developed for
supporting it that makes sense.
