| Aug 25, 2009 at 13:15 | comment | added | EBGreen | Then by that logic shouldn't we go ahead and cerate every generic tag that anyone could ever possibly want to use? | |
| Aug 25, 2009 at 13:14 | comment | added | Bill the Lizard | The 'excel' tag can just be added to the three existing questions tagged 'spreadsheet' if they are asking about Excel. I think it's worth it to keep the 'spreadsheet' tag in case a new user (without enough rep to create new tags) needs to use it. | |
| Aug 25, 2009 at 12:58 | comment | added | EBGreen | Except that as the OP states all of the spreadsheet tagged ones are about excel. So doesn't the spreadsheet tag seem redundant at that point? If someone comes along at a later date and wants to ask a generic spreadsheet question, retagging these would not stop that. | |

He has mentioned that the existing spreadsheetquestions are about Excel, too. You can leave the tag at its place, but he asks if the three (which are Excel questions) should be merged.
