Yeah looks like it’s also not just chaining, same issue (I guess) happens when using if conditions

eg. this works: if(false, 1 / 2, if(true, 30 * 30, 0)) and will print out 900
this does not: if(false, 1 / 2, if(true, 30 / 30, 0)) and cell is empty
and this also works: if(false, 2, if(true, 30 / 30, 0))
