Must admit that I do not know the defintive answer to this question so please
take what I say 'with a pinch of salt'. Having said that, no, I do not think
there is a way to trace dependenices currently but I can image that it might
be possible to patch the HSSFFormulaEvaluator to do something that may help.
Currently, there is a method that allows you to evaluate any and all
formulae on a worksheet and, I am of course guessing, to do this, it must(?)
parse the formulae into tokens. As a result, it must(?) extract any cell
references that exist in the formulae and so it is possible to imagine that
similar code could be used to produce a list of all cells referenced by
formulae on the sheet. That is all said from the safety of ignorance as I
have no idea how to proceed but it might point you in the right direction -
quite possibly straight up a dead end street!
