Any formula scanner software available?
Greetings,
Does anyone know of any software that would scan thru Excel workbooks and identify/gather formulas and/or show the relationship between formulas? We have hundreds of worksheets, containing formulas, that we need to analyze to determine the business rules that drive them. Was looking for a way that might reduce the analysis time. Many thanx, -matt |

Can you give an example of what you'd like to see? Not sure I follow
when you say identify/gather formulas< or show the relationship between formulas<. It's possible to write code that identify which cells contains formulas, for instance, but where to go from there to answer your requirements? |

Hi,
In further searching, I came across a utility called "Explode" that, based on screenshots on the website, would be along the lines of what I had in mind. Unfortunately, the add-in errors out when attempting to use it. Basically what I had in mind, was something that would graphically (or otherwise) represent all the formulas in a workbook and show the dependencies within the workbook as well as external dependencies. Something that would generate a report would be outstanding. Fyi, the web page for "Explode" can be found he http://www.xl-logic.com/pages/explode.html While the formula auditing tools in Excel will show dependencies, it still seems rather manual. Would be nice to have something scan the workbook and display all formulas in one place. Regards, -matt "Dave O" wrote: Can you give an example of what you'd like to see?

, John Walkenbach has a utility package "Power Utility Pak" I think the latest version in PUPv6 available by download for a free 30 day trial. It has several auditing features one of which is for auditing all the formulas in a worksheet or workbook. I use it alot to final check my stuff and it works perfectly. Note of caution if you generate a report on a large workbook with many worksheets with a lot of formulas it can sometimes take several minutes to finish. here is the link. Look for the link to PUPv6 http://j-walk.com/ss/ HTH -- Casey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Casey's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...fo&userid=4545 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=477232 |
