Important: Spreadsheet Inquire is available only in Excel for Windows in Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise plans and equivalent editions. Want to see what version of Office you're using?

A great way to check for links between worksheets is by using the Worksheet Relationship command in Excel. You can use this command, found on the Inquire tab, to quickly build a diagram that shows how worksheets are linked to each other. If you don't see the Inquire tab in the Excel ribbon, see Turn on the Spreadsheet Inquire add-in.

  1. Open the file that you want to analyze for worksheet links.

  2. On the Inquire tab, select Worksheet Relationship.
