Trace any formula. Never lose your place.

Gridrive shows a formula's precedents and dependents in a side panel — values, formulas, and multi-level expansion across sheets — driven entirely from your keyboard. Nothing ever leaves your workbook.

Features

Built for people who live in Excel models

Auditing a model shouldn't mean chasing trace arrows across the grid. Gridrive puts the whole dependency picture in one panel.

Trace precedents and dependents

See every cell a formula depends on — and every cell that depends on it — in a side panel, with live values and formulas for each reference.

Go as deep as the model does

Expand any reference into its own precedents, level by level, across sheets. Circular references are flagged instead of trapping you in a loop.

Keyboard-first

Trigger a trace, walk the tree with arrow keys, and jump to any cell without touching the mouse. Every shortcut is customizable.

Click to navigate

Select any reference in the panel and Excel jumps straight to that cell — even on another sheet — and back home when you're done.

Color-coded formulas

The formula bar view highlights each reference in its own color, matched to the trace list, so dense formulas become readable at a glance.

Private by design

Everything runs locally inside Excel. No account, no servers, no workbook data ever leaves your machine.

Privacy

Your model stays yours

Gridrive runs entirely inside Excel using Microsoft's Office JavaScript APIs. There is no sign-up, no telemetry on your workbook, and no server reading your formulas. The add-in can't leak what it never sends.
