RE: Excel Auditing

Hi David

Depending on the complexity of your worksheet, I can recommend the following:

1. Doing it manually
2. Use the FORMULA AUDITING toolbar
VIEW > TOOLBARS > FORMULA AUDITING
There are two tools that may assist you.
- Show precedant and dependant cells
- Circle invalid data
- Error Checking

Those will highlight the issues on your sheet. There may be ones that might miss, but it will generally pick up any major issues. Obviously if your formula is pointing to the incorrect cell / value, and the answer is not ciorrect for oyour use, it might not pick that up, as it only checks the basic structure and syntax.

Regards

Richard
