You can click "Trace precedent" on the Formula Auditing toolbar, then
double-click on the dotted arrow line (leading from the little sheet icon) to
surface the "Go To" dialog. Then just double-click on the range in the
dialog's window and it'll zap you straight to that source range.

If the above helped you in any/some way, pl press the YES button below

p/s: Don't use all caps in your post. Hard to read & is considered impolite
nettiquette.

If you disable ToolsOptionsEdit "edit directly in cell" a double-click on
the cell will take you to the range.

That's a far easier route, Gord.
Thanks for posting the option.

Thanks Max.

The minor inconvenience of having to edit in the formula bar arises but I
rarely edit in cell so OK for me.

I prefer F2
