Watch Window

Hi Sue, Thank you for your post, in answer to your question. You can use Excel worksheets to track what happens to a certain cell when changes are made to other cells. Pre-Excel 2002, if the cell you were monitoring moved off the screen when you made a change to another cell, you would have to scroll back and forth between the cells to see the results. With Excel 2002/03, you can add a Watch Window, which keeps the value of the monitored cell on the screen - no matter where the change is made.

Follow these steps to add the Watch Window toolbar:

Go to View | Toolbars | Watch Window.
Click Add Watch in the Watch Window toolbar.
Enter the cell you want to track and click the Add button.
Repeat steps two and three for each cell you want to monitor.
As changes are made to the spreadsheet, the Watch Window toolbar will display the current value of the cells you are tracking.
Alternatively right-click the cell and choose Add Watch from the menu.

Hopefully that has helped, if so please click resolved. regards Pete.
