Here is a typical, though fictional, screen shot from Packola.
We're looking at a board called Fees Analysis / All - you can see that title in the tabs just above the grid of data. We also have open the Trial Balance grid for years 2006, 2007 and 2010.
Cell L13 has just been clicked on, and shows as white on dark blue. It's a formula cell, so the formula is shown just above the grid, and the cells it uses are shown with heavy borders : C13, D13 and E13. The formula uses the WSGBPA method to do a GBP conversion at Average rates.
Cell colours are used to distinguish different types of cell. F3 is an entered figure. G3 is an entered figure that has not yet been set. C6 is a formula. J8 is a carry forward figure. A6 is a logic cell. C11 is a precedent figure copied from another board. C3 is a group precedent, summing a value across multiple boards.
F3 also has a comment attached, as shown by the red marker.
