+        When a value begins with "=", it is treated as a formula.
+        If value is a script block it will be evaluated, so here the string "=E$row/C$Row"
+        will have the number of the current row inserted. See the value parameter for a list of
+        variables which can be used. Note than when evaluating an expression in a string,
+        it is necessary to wrap it in $()  so $row is valid but $($row+1) is needed. To prevent
+        Variables merging into other parts of the string, use the back tick "$columnName`4" will
+        be "G4" - withouth the backtick the string will look for a variable named "columnName4"
