RE: Excel Auditing

Hi David

Depending on the complexity of your worksheet, I can recommend the following:

1. Doing it manually
2. Use the FORMULA AUDITING toolbar
VIEW > TOOLBARS > FORMULA AUDITING
There are two tools that may assist you.
- Show precedant and dependant cells
- Circle invalid data
- Error Checking

Those will highlight the issues on your sheet. There may be ones that might miss, but it will generally pick up any major issues. Obviously if your formula is pointing to the incorrect cell / value, and the answer is not ciorrect for oyour use, it might not pick that up, as it only checks the basic structure and syntax.

Regards

Richard

Excel tip:

Sorting data stored in rows

Primarily Excel is set up to sort data that is stored in columns rather than rows.

It is possible to get Excel to sort data stored in rows however.

Click in the row you want to sort, or select the cells in the rows you wish to sort.

Go to Data - Sort, then go to the Options button in the bottom left corner of the Sort dialogue box.
