Excel 2013 For Mac Trace Precedents On Another Sheet

Jan 26, 2015 When I go to Sheet2 and select Trace Dependents under Tools / Formula Auditing), Excel shows an arrow to an icon that resembles a spreadsheet. But I have not found a way to expand the icon into a cell reference or even to identify the worksheet. Moreover, if I visit each worksheet, I do not automatically see off-sheet arrows to those dependent. Excel 2010: In certain versions of Excel, the Navigatearrow method will have trouble navigating through all dependent cells if there are cells outside of the current workbook or worksheet. The only solution is to make VBA code turn on another worksheet before proceeding to cycle through the dependent cells. Learn the Excel keyboard shortcuts (MAC and PC) to activate the Trace Precedents and Dependents commands. Includes a full description. Blue arrows show cells with no errors. Red arrows show cells that cause errors. If the selected cell is referenced by a cell on another worksheet or workbook, a black arrow points from the selected cell to a worksheet icon. The other workbook must be open before Excel can trace these dependencies.

Kutools for Excel

For instance, there are multiple formulas in a worksheet, and now if you want to display the relationships between the formulas, you need to trace the dependents or precedents in the sheet.

But Excel’s built-in Trace Precedents feature and Trace Dependents feature can only show arrows for one selected cell at a time. Even you waste time to trace precedents or dependents for many cells one by one, the overlapped arrows are not clear for trace. However, Kutools for Excel’s Monitor Precedents and Dependents utility can help you quickly automatically display all dependents and precedents in a selected range in real time with one click.

    Hi. Please, can you add the worksheet icon for precedents? Currently, the little square worksheet icon only pops up for dependencies. I have a summary page and it would be great to understand which cells are reliant on data being imported from other worksheets. Perhaps in this situation, the dashed line can have the arrow pointing the opposite direction (i.e. towards the cell rather than away from it)

    I've found this macro very useful, thank you. I do have one rather large issue - the macro will cause excel to stop responding and I have to close out and restart the program each time I run it. Any fixes/recommendations? Thank you!
