<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> Analyzing sheets |
PlanMaker provides several tools for analyzing cell contents and formulas in a table. These can be very useful for detecting errors.
For this purpose, the following tools are available:
▪Displaying formulas instead of results
| If the ribbon command View | Show formulas is enabled, cells containing a calculation will display the formula rather than the result. |
| If the ribbon command View | Syntax highlighting is enabled, cells will be colorized according to their content. For example, cells containing an error are displayed in red; cells containing a formula are displayed in green, etc. |
▪Watch window for cell content
FreeOffice: The Show watch list command is not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice.
| With the ribbon command Formula | Show watch list you can display a watch window for cell contents at any time. It allows you to observe the current values in the specified cells. |
FreeOffice: Formula auditing is not included in SoftMaker FreeOffice.
| The commands of the ribbon tab Formula | group Traces provide tools for displaying the relationships between cells graphically. For example, if the current cell contains a formula that refers to other cells, you can let PlanMaker display arrows pointing to these cells. |
| Apart from that, you can find errors in your table easily or to mark all invalid data with red circles. |
