Tech Tip: How to track down cell dependencies in Excel

create. This tip will help you troubleshoot and understand what’s going on.

Select a cell in your worksheet and then press Ctrl-Shift-] (that’s
Control-Shift-Right Bracket) and all of the cells that are dependent on the
selected cell will be highlighted.
