How are errors in 3D formulas traced?

RE: 3D formulas - error tracing

Hi Bhavesh

Thank you for your question.

To trace errors in a formula which refers to cells on other sheets:

1. Click on the cell with the formula that is showing the error message.
2. Bring up the Formula Auditing toolbar on the screen (View - Toolbars - Formula Auditing)
3. Click the Trace Precedents button.
4. Any cells that are on other sheets that are providing data to the formula will be indicated by a dashed line with a small spreadsheet icon next to it.
5. Using the white arrow pointer, double-click anywhere along the dashed line. This will bring up the Go To dialogue box, from which you can select a cell to view and click OK. This will take you directly to the cell you have chosen.

Excel tip:

Deleting a range of cells using the autofill handle

Firstly, select the range of cells for which you would like to clear the contents. Then drag the autofill handle to the the top left corner of the selection whilst holding down the shift key. Your selected contents should then be deleted.
