Felicity,

The best way to attain something like this is to use a pivot table to crunch your numbers. When a
number in a pivot table is double-clicked, a new worksheet is produced that shows the numbers that
went into that value. That sheet can then be used or deleted as needed.

I'm not quite sure how to describe this. My clients is in a restaurant
business. He tracks the hours worked/costs etc using Excel. When he comes to
a summary of the hours for lunch & dinner, he wants to click on say, the
total which will open a temporary small dynamic spreadsheet right next to the
cell showing him what these hours are made up of (ie John $10.50/hr 5 hours
Mon/Wed/Thurs). I don't really know where to sart looking.
