Dependents are the cells that are used by formulas in other cells. Say you have the following formula in a cell B3:
=A2+C12-D10
Then the cells A2, C12 and D10 are the dependents of the formula in B3. The formula is using values that are in them. If you go to any of those cells, you use can use Trace Dependents to find the cells that depend on them and highlight them on the Spreadsheet. If you are having a problem with formulas you can highlight the cells to be able to see which ones are being used. One way of doing it is to select the cell and then press the CTRL key and also the ] key. You can also use the Auditing toolbar to do it.
