Trace precedents and dependents in Google Sheets, then audit the whole model in 60 seconds
SheetTrail brings Excel-style Trace Precedents and Trace Dependents to Google Sheets: a clickable tree across tabs and named ranges, fast on big financial models. Pro adds a workbook-wide audit for inherited or AI-generated spreadsheets.
Trace the selected cell both ways, recursively, across tabs, named ranges, whole columns and rows. Click any node to jump to it, then "Back" returns you to where you started.
Flags what can't be traced: INDIRECT, OFFSET, IMPORTRANGE and INDEX ranges are marked "dynamic" instead of silently ignored.
Catches circular references and references to missing tabs (#REF!).
Fast: the whole workbook is read in one pass and indexed in your browser, so a 200,000-formula model audits in seconds.
Formulas that break the pattern of their row or column
Error cells (#REF!, #N/A, #DIV/0!…) and references to blank cells
Unused inputs and circular references
Export the audit to a new sheet with links to every cell
Banker colour-coding: inputs blue, formulas black, cross-tab links green
