Hi,
And just a little FYI
Ctrl [ select all the immediate Precedent cells on the active sheet. It
will go to another sheet or workbook iff there are no other cells on the
current sheet that it refers to, it alway choose them over external links.
when you are on that other cell you can use Ctrl ] to return. It only works
for cells on the same sheet.
Ctrl { selects all the referenced cell on the current sheet
Ctrl } selects all the cells the depend on this cell on the current sheet
The difference between the [ { is that the first only highlights the
immediate references, the second highlight all levels. For example if A1
contains the formula =B1 and B1 contains the formula =C1. If you put your
cursor on A1 and press Ctrl [ Excel select only B1. If you put your cursor
on A1 and press Ctrl { Excel selects both B1 and C1.
You can also expose the Auditing toolbar which has buttons that perform
similar actions, but graphically. Tools, Formula Auditing, Show Formula
Auditing Toolbar

If it's a direct link, try:
<Ctrl> < [ >
It will even open a closed WB.

cell in a worsheet has data from a cell in a different worksheet - is there a
shortcut that would take me directly to this originating cell from the first
cell.
Example worksheet 2, cell A1 is copied from worksheet 1 , cell B5.
Is there a shortcut that would take me from A1 to B5 ?
