That looks promising, thanks ! But when the "Precedents" are in a different sheet (which is my case) the arrows point to nowhere (are a short 45 degrees arrow starting with a square and cannot be selected with the mouse). --strk; -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

Digging some on the web I found cross-sheet tracing to be still missing: https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=44828 BTW, I've also found CTRL-[ doing an interesting thing, except it gets lost after the first jump (jumps to first precedent). So it still takes a macro to implement ? --strk; -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: users+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
[libreoffice-users] calc: highlight cells referenced by formula
Hi there, I'm looking for a way to speedup the process of looking at each cell cells referenced by a formula. Right now I'm doing this manually, which requires going back and forth between the formula cell and each of the referenced cells (which I've to find with my eyes). Someone on IRC told me there's no built-in support for highlighting referenced cells and that it'd take a macro to do that. And suggested to ask here. While writing this mail I'm thinking it would be even better not just to highlight but to either allow cycling over each cell with a keystroke... So, did anyone implement a macro doing such thing or a similar one to start from ? Please include my address to an eventual reply as I'm not subscribed to the list.
