Formula Parsing Architecture for Domain Excel Add-Ins

Drawn from work on a production Excel add-in with custom domain functions, this article describes how string-based formula handling carried the first release, where it started to fail as the roadmap grew, and how a compiler-style pipeline with an abstract syntax tree restored roadmap velocity; turning features that previously required fragile string logic into localized tree operations.
