I recently found a VBA script from Microsoft for identifying all circular references in a worksheet. Now I'm curious. Is it possible to have circular references without receiving a Circular Reference alert within Excel?

I ran the Microsoft script on a large spreadsheet that otherwise shows no errors and all the formulas appear to be working correctly; however, the report generated from the Microsoft script shows that there are numerous circular references. How is that possible?

If you set the iteration to true, then Excel will issue no warnings on circular references. Try unchecking iteration.

Thanks. I turned off Iteration and performed a recalculation. I'm not receiving a circular reference error. Not sure why the Microsoft script report is reporting so many problems.

Oh well, thanks.
