When I view this tutorial page, I found the following:
Use Trace Precedents Choose a formula and click Trace Precedents. It is on the Formulas ribbon in Excel 2007 and the Tools - Formula Auditing menu in Excel 97-2003. Excel will draw blue arrows to show all the cells that flow into this cell.
The icon in the lower left means there were some off-sheet precedents. Double-click the dotted line to see the off-sheet precedents.
I clicked the dotted like to see the off-sheet precedents, and find it doesn't lead me directly to the cell, what's wrong with it?

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.

I did what you described in your post and in my case it works. (I use Excel 2003)
Double-clicking the dotted line should result in opening small window in which you can choose full adress of the precedent cell.

hi, it result in a small window showing full address, but it doesn't go directly to the address, i have to click again this adress to go there. Is there a way lead directly to that address without this middle step?
