Is there any way to see if data in one worksheet has been referenced by
another worksheet? For example: In worksheet test1, cell a1, I enter
=quest!b2. I need to know if cell b2 in worksheet quest has been
referenced as well as any other cells in worksheet quest.
Thanks
 
The best way is to use the Edit Menu - Find. click on options and select
workbook (not worksheet). Type in the address of the cell like A1, $A1, A$1,
$A$1. Find wil return all references on any sheet. Only look at the one for
the worksheet yo are interested in.
 
Use Tools->Formula Auditing->Trace Dependents. In Excel 2007, use
Formula->Trace Dependents. If the cell has not been referenced, you
will get a message box to that end.
 
I am trying to see if 'data' in a cell in another worksheet has been
used. If I have a worksheet (q1) with 200 questions on it and another
that is referencing that data (t1), I need to know which cells on q1
have been referenced on t1.
