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?

Best way to learn Power Query?
Read M is for (Data) Monkey book by Ken Puls and Miguel Escobar. It is the complete guide to Power Query.
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?
