Select the cell you want to audit (cell F11 in our case), go to the Formulas tab, and then click the Trace Precedents button. The command will display blue arrows that show the specific cells that affect the selected cell. The arrow points to the cell with the formula that references to the precedents.Ĭlicking the trace precedents button once more shows more cells that affect the value of the active cell. In our example, the error in F11 occurs because one of the cells selected when calculating the revenue projections was incorrect. Cell F2 was incorrect since it does not contain a numerical value for the quarterly projection of Q3. The cause of the error was human error, where the person doing the calculations selected the wrong cell. To correct the error, simply edit the formula and select the right cell for getting the total revenue projection for Q3. What Causes Excel to Produce a Beep Sound When I Click Trace Precedents? Once the error’s been resolved, you should remove the arrows manually by selecting the cell with an arrow and then clicking the Remove Arrows button under the Formula Auditing tool. It may also mean that the tool can’t track any further due to an untraceable item on the Excel worksheet.Įxamples of items that are not traceable using the formula auditing tools include: If Excel produces a beep sound, it means that the Trace Precedents tool is already done with tracking the cells, and there is no precedent cell. Formulas in another closed workbook that reference to the active cell.References to pictures, text boxes, and embedded charts on the worksheet.There are specific keyboard shortcuts that can be used to track how formulas are linked within an Excel model. Trace Precedents: Press “Ctrl” followed by the square bracket “[“. The shortcut takes you to the first cell used by the active cell with the formula. However, it does not draw arrows linking the cells related to the active cell. Trace Dependents: Press “Ctrl” followed by the right-facing square bracket “]”. The keyboard shortcut takes you to the first cell that the active cell points to. However, it does not draw arrows to every cell that is affected by the active cell.
