3D formulas - error tracing

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:

Calculate difference between two times

For presenting the result in the standard time format (hours : minutes : seconds . Use the subtraction operator (-) to find the difference between times, and the TEXT function to format the returned value to text in a specific number format.

Hours never exceed 24, minutes never exceed 60, and seconds never exceed 60.

=TEXT(B2-A2,"h")
Hours between two times (4)

=TEXT(B2-A2,"h:mm")
Hours and minutes between two times (4:55)

=TEXT(B2-A2,"h:mm:ss")
Hours and seconds between two times (4:55:00)

Where B2 and A2 must hold the end time and start time respectively formatted as a time format
