Excel 2016, shortcuts for precedents across tab/sheets
Hello,
We tend to have excel with many sheets and they tend to refer to each other.
For one of them, it can be a simple reference e.g. ='Sheet1'!A3 (approximated spelling for visual aid only) for instance, but it can also be more than one reference like ='Sheet1'!A3+'Sheet2'!Z33
To "run" to a particular reference, a quick shortcut of Ctrl+[ is required, but it only goes to the first reference. Is there a way to choose the 2nd or 3rd reference for instance?
Using the mouse to click on trace all precedents seems too long, as then I have to double click a certain place and then figure out which one to use using the mouse.
Many thanks.
RE: Excel 2016, shortcuts for precedents across tab/sheets
Hello Michael,
Thank you for your question. One way to jump to any reference in a formula is to double-click on the formula in its cell, highlight the reference inside the formula you wish to go to, press F5, then Enter. This will take you to the sheet and cell(s) you selected.
I hope this helps!
Kind regards
