circularity
I've inherited a workbook that has a circular argument and am trying to
trace it. First of all, I read that, if you get the circularity toolbox, you should also see tracer arrows that show you the circularity, but I do not see them. Does this only work if everything circular is on a single sheet? Also, though I think there are many circularities within the file, when it tells me one circular reference at the bottom left, e.g., "Circular: K33", when I click trace dependents while on K33, it tells me it has no dependents. Isn't that impossible if it is circular? |

circularity
I also have another question about circularity. I eliminated two obvious
spots of circularity. Now, every tab (and none seem to be hidden) only says "circular" at the bottom without any cell referecnes. And no other excel files are open. If there is circularity still, shouldn't there be a reference to some cell on some worksheet. I tried closing out the file and EXCEL and re-opening but it still insists there's circularity.

circularity
Maybe Stephen Bullen's utility will help.

circularity
please ignore this last post, but NOT the one just prior on circularity. As
it turns out, there were hidden sheets after all. "Dean" wrote in message ... I also have another question about circularity. I eliminated two obvious spots of circularity.

circularity
You can download my XspandXL demo to sort this. IMHO, the circularity
testing is far better than the built in tools. http://www.enhanceddatasystems.com/E...pandXLHome.htm Robin Hammond www.enhanceddatasystems.com "Dean" wrote in message ... please ignore this last post, but NOT the one just prior on circularity.
