What Is the Formula Map Tool?The Formula Map Tool is an Excel-based utility that visualises all the formulas in your worksheet at a glance. Instead of manually digging through rows and columns to understand model logic, the Formula Map provides a bird’s eye view of where your formulas and hardcoded values live.

Whether you’re auditing a model, handing it over to a client, or diving into someone else’s workbook, the Formula Map is your instant X-ray.

How It WorksWith a single click, the tool:

  • Scans your selected worksheet
  • Highlights every formula cell
  • Colour-codes cells
  • Gives you a visual grid so you can quickly spot:

    • Errors
    • Where formulas have been copied
    • Hardcoded inputs
    • Empty spaces and structure

It’s like heatmapping your Excel brain.
