When cells are not visible on a worksheet, you can watch those cells and their formulas in the Watch Window. The Watch Window makes it convenient to inspect, audit, or confirm formula calculations and results in large worksheets. By using the Watch Window, you don’t need to repeatedly scroll or go to different parts of your worksheet.
This toolbar can be moved like any other toolbar. For example, you can dock it on the bottom of the window. The toolbar keeps track of the following properties of a cell: workbook, sheet, name, cell, value, and formula.
Note: You can have only one watch window per cell.
Applies To: MS Excel 2007, 2010 and 2013
