An Excel add-in that traces which cells feed a formula and which cells depend on it, including across sheets.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-13 issue.
For
Excel users auditing formula-driven workbooks
Worth noticing
The demo distinguishes rows matching a SUMIFS from the larger source ranges Excel's built-in arrows may point to.

Field notes

The demo lets visitors click through a sample workbook, while the instructions show a three-step route from installer to an active Excel command. The site reports a 14 ms cold read on a 5,101-formula client model and says results are byte-identical across runs; these are vendor-reported figures. It also documents a boundary: commands that open Excel's own dialogs inherit Excel's undo behavior.
