Circular References

Please could you explain to me what a Circular Reference is and how I get rid of them?

Thanks a lot,
Ellie

RE: Circular References

When a formula refers back to its own cell, either directly or indirectly, it is called a circular reference.


<b>To locate and remove a circular reference</b>

1. If the Circular Reference toolbar is not displayed, click Customize on the Tools menu, click the Toolbars tab, and then select the Circular Reference check box.
2. On the Circular Reference toolbar, click the first cell in the Navigate Circular Reference box.
3. Review the formula in the cell. If you cannot determine whether the cell is the cause of the circular reference, click the next cell in the Navigate Circular Reference box.


 

Excel tip:

Enter formulae into multiple cells

If a formula is to be used in a series of cells, select the cells first. Now type in your formula and hold the Ctrl key while you press Enter. This enters the formula in each selected cell.

Just be careful with your absolute and relative cell references.
