Description

Description

Would be great if you could introduce an option with which you can set that formulas are only calculated if every cell it contains is also filled.
So if a cell referenced by the formula is not filled, i.e. empty. The result should also be empty.

Research direction

The issue names no source files, tests, or entry points; begin by reviewing the linked JSFiddle reproduction. Trace how referenced empty cells affect formula evaluation, then define completion as an option that leaves the result empty whenever any referenced cell is empty. Confirm behavior against the reproduction and add coverage in the relevant evaluation tests.
