Hello,

Is there a way (addin utilities or otherwise) to cause the formula in a
cell
to display the values for the component references making up the
formula?

-i.e =A1 *(B2+C4)/D2

would display based on the cell reference values as:

=5*(4+6)/8

Thanks for your help,

David S



I don't know if this will be helpful, but you could also set up a Watch
Window
and Watch the contents of the references.

Hi Ron,
I am not to famiiar with the visual basic editor. I can view the watch
window but how do I do what you suggest?

Thanks....

David S


This is an Excel feature, no VBA required.

View/Toolbars and select the Watch Window toolbar. You can then set a
Watch
for various cells.

This is different from the Watch window in VBA.

Hi Ron,

Tried that but it does not give me anything more than the value in the
total cell and its formula. I am interested in seeing the individual
values of the component parts of a formula as described in my original
post. So I can do a quick audit of the formula based on an assumption
sheet or known values.

Thank you.....
