Applies To
Range Object.
Description
Navigates a tracer arrow for the specified range to the precedent, dependent, or error-causing cell or cells. Selects the precedent, dependent, or error cell and returns a Range object that represents the new selection. This method causes an error if applied to a cell without visible tracer arrows.
Syntax
object.NavigateArrow(towardPrecedent, arrowNumber, linkNumber)
object
Required. The Range object.
towardPrecedent
Required. Specifies the direction to navigate (True to navigate toward precedents or False to navigate toward dependents).
arrowNumber
Required. Specifies the arrow number to navigate, corresponding to the numbered reference in the cell's formula.
linkNumber
Optional. If the arrow is an external reference arrow, this argument indicates which external reference to follow. If this argument is omitted, the first external reference is followed.
Example
This example navigates along the first tracer arrow from cell A1 on Sheet1 toward the precedent cell. The example should be run on a worksheet containing a formula in cell A1 that uses cells D1, D2, and D3 (for example, the formula =D1*D2*D3). Before running the example, display the auditing toolbar, select cell A1, and choose the Trace Precedents button.
