    trace precedents for all cells

    Hello. I'm analyzing an income statement where I bucket all of the line items at the bottom in different categories. However, when I sum all the categories it doesn't sum up correctly. That means that I'm missing a few line items but it is an enormous pain to figure out which ones are missing. Is there any way to figure this out quickly?

    Thanks,

    If you press F2 on the formula, it will show you (with colored lines around the cells) which cells are being used. You can scroll up/across while in Edit mode to see if you have missed anything
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
    3. Click on the star if you think someone helped you
