Default How do you ID cell precendents/dependents in other sheets?

The arrows displayed by Tools / Formula Auditing / Trace Precedents/
Dependents point to a formula's precedent/dependent cells in the SAME
SHEET as the formula only.

Precedents/dependents in other sheets in the workbook are not
identified.

Doesn't Excel have a 100% functional auditing mode or dialog?

(Or, have I failed to install a Valu-Pak or add-in?)

Thanks much.

There should be an arrow pointing to a worksheet icon. When you double click
on the icon (for me it only works when double clicking on the bottom of the
icon, right when the cursor changes from a + to an arrow), it should open up
the goto dialog box with a listing of the external links. You can select a
link from this dialog and XL will take you to it.

JMB:

Thanks much for answer.

And now that I see the answer, it's all too intuitive.

I can't understand how I failed to empirically tried that solution
before. Perhaps it's because I'm such a keyboard maven that I didn't
think of trying simply clicking the dotted line and/or additional-
sheet icon itself.

And I also now see that this question is asked & answered quite
frequently.

Thanks again.
