Selecting special types of cells

As you use Excel, you may need to locate specific types of cells in your worksheets. For example, wouldn’t it be handy to be able to locate every cell that contains a formula—or perhaps all the cells whose value depends on the current cell? Excel provides an easy way to locate these and many other special types of cells. Simply choose Home?Select & Find?Go To Special to display the Go To Special dialog box, shown in Figure 14-15.

Use the Go To Special dialog box to select specific types of cells.

After you make your choice in the dialog box, Excel selects the qualifying subset of cells in the current selection. Usually, this subset of cells is a multiple selection. If no cells qualify, Excel lets you know with the message No cells were found.

When you select an option in the Go To Special dialog box, be sure to note which suboptions become available. For example, when you select Constants, the suboptions under Formulas become available to help you further refine the results. Likewise, the suboptions under Dependents also apply to Precedents, and those under Data Validation also apply to Conditional formats.
