Go To Special

Go To Special is a somewhat neglected, but sometimes very useful option that allows us to position ourselves in individual places in an Excel table according to their properties. These can be empty rows, formulas, precedents, dependents, cells with data validation, etc. In this text, you will learn how to start this option, and you will also see two examples of its application in practice.

Relations between formulas

The reports we analyse are often composed of a large number of interrelated formulas. Then it is convenient, for a moment, to display formulas instead of the expression. It may also be useful to look at the precedents of a formula (the cells on which it was created), as well as its dependents (the values ​​on whose result it affects). The purpose of these procedures is to easily detect errors in the budget, or the logic that led to them.
