I’m facing formula errors and need to know how to find circular references in Excel. My spreadsheet calculations are not working correctly due to this issue. I want to locate and fix circular references efficiently. Any tips or built-in Excel tools would be helpful.
 
In order to locate circular references in the Excel:
  1. Go to the Formulas tab.
  2. Click on the arrow besides Error Checking.
  3. Moving around Circular References.
  4. Click on the cell as it appears in the list in order to go to the error.
 
Hey, yeah, that can get frustrating 😅 in Excel, go to Formulas → Error Checking → Circular References to see the exact cells causing the issue, then tweak the formulas to break the loop. Once you fix that, your calculations should behave normally again 👍
