FAQ

Why can’t I find the Locate Referenced Cell button?

1. Make sure you are working in WPS Spreadsheet, not Writer or Presentation.
2. Select a cell in the worksheet, then check the Formulas tab at the top of the window.
3. If the ribbon is collapsed, expand it and look for the related command again.

Why don’t I see a useful reference result after I click the feature?

1. Check whether the selected cell actually contains a formula or references other cells.
2. If the cell only contains plain text or a fixed number, there may be no referenced source to show.
3. Review the formula bar first, then run the feature again after confirming that the cell references other cells.

After I locate referenced cells, how do I continue troubleshooting a formula?

1. Check each referenced cell to confirm that its value, text, or formula is correct.
2. Compare the formula bar with the intended range to see whether the formula points to the right cells.
3. After you update the source data or formula, run Locate Referenced Cell again to verify the result.
