About Spreadsheet Formula Viewer
Formula auditing becomes difficult when logic is scattered across many worksheets. Spreadsheet Formula Viewer builds a searchable inventory of stored expressions, their functions and cached values, allowing a reviewer to move from a workbook-wide summary to one cell's formula context without opening Excel.
Static references are connected to direct precedents and dependents, with a bounded relationship graph for navigation. The findings model stays conservative: a confirmed broken reference or cycle belongs to the affected formula, while broad limitations involving dynamic, named, structured or external references are disclosed separately and do not inflate the issue count.
This is inspection rather than calculation or repair. The local worker never runs formulas, macros or external connections, and cached results are shown with their limitations intact. A CSV report provides a portable audit trail while leaving the uploaded workbook unchanged.
