my bank uses way too many indirects and our current tracers (factset, macabacus, etc) don't allow us to see where it is coming from. i spent the last few weekends building pptx add-in that lets you trace the cell the indirects are pulling from. know some of my buddies had previously been paying for a tool like this, so figured I'd put this one out for free. happy to share with anyone that has to deal with indirects like me haha.

Arixcel can trace INDIRECT.
haha i wanted a free version. also surprised they do bc their website indicates otherwise.
Arixcel is extremely affordable for what you get.
don't have macabacus anymore but pretty sure there is a setting to evaluate indirects when tracing precedents
Pls track that down and share
been a while but iirc it's one of the options in here, something along the lines of "evaluate" and you can select indirects. I snipped this from their website demo, maybe you can confirm.
in the "Formulas" commands there is also an evaluate indirects feature that (irreversibly) converts all indirects to normal cell references, if that's what you prefer.
i tried and didn't see anything. maybe you have an elite acct or it is something they've gotten rid of?
Please share.
Please msg! Thank you
