Display the relationships between formulas and cells – Excel

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/18

The “Formulas” tab has to buttons that help to Display the relationships between formulas and cells – Excel [WayBack]:

  • Precedent cells —   cells that are referred to by a formula in another cell. For example, if cell D10 contains the formula =B5, then cell B5 is a precedent to cell D10.
  • Dependent cells —    these cells contain formulas that refer to other cells. For example, if cell D10 contains the formula =B5, cell D10 is a dependent of cell B5.

To assist you in checking your formulas, you can use the Trace Precedents and Trace Dependentscommands to graphically display and trace the relationships between these cells and formulas with tracer arrows, as shown in this figure.

Nick Craver – Stack Overflow: How We Do Deployment – 2016 Edition

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/03/18

It sounds long ago, but this post is still so relevant for anyone not yet bringing operations and development close together. And for those who did:

  • automate the heck out of everything
  • make lots of mistakes as early as possible so you can fix them before the hit any of your production sites

[WayBack] Nick Craver – Stack Overflow: How We Do Deployment – 2016 Edition

The relevance is why Nick repeated it in 2018 in a response to a @ThePracticalDev discussion right after the first Falcon Heavy deployment, and why I repeat it now.
