Let's say I am looking at the following formula in a cell:
=('Page 1'!I282)*('Page 2'!A100).
If I want to see the precedent, I hit CTRL + [. But this will only take me to the first term. How can I see the second term without hitting F5 & pasting in 'Page 2'!A100?
Is there a way to determine which term in the formula to see, aside from F5? Imagine the equation had multiple terms...
Thx everyone!






Tab, if I'm not mistaken.

How would that work, exactly?
How would that work, exactly? Normally, I go to the cell, hit F2 to see what's going. If I want to drill down, I hit CTRL+[ to see what the terms of the equation actually refer to. The only problem is, using CTRL+[, I can only drill into one term. At what point would I hit the Tab key to drill into the second (third, forth, fifth, etc..) term of the equation?
Thanks again

Who would'a thunk it, I've been carrying over Alt T U T from '03 for all this time.

I see I'm not the only one who doesn't like "business jargon".

Worked like a charm, thanks very much. Is this exclusively a Cap IQ function though? When I hit CTRL + Shift + [, it activates 'cap IQ trace'...I assume this means those without the cap iq plugin cannot use this?
I'll take this opportunity to throw another question out: when you double-click the Format Painter, you can apply the same format to multiple cells at once. Is there a keyboard shortcut for this? I know the keyboard shortcut to make a single-cell format adjustment (alt+h+fp), but this only allows me to modify an adjacent cell... Thoughts here are also appreciated!
Yeah you have to have factset
Yeah you have to have factset or capiq addin on your computer for any ctrl + shift shortcuts to work. They are very helpful so I would encourage you at least look up all of them.
As far as copying formats just ctrl + c on the cell you want then select the cells you want and paste special format ( alt + es + t) on them.
