How to select all formula cells in a worksheet?
If there are multiple types of cells including formulas, text, number and so on in your worksheet, and you just want to select only formula cells in your worksheet or a selection, how can you solve it in Excel? Now I introduce some quick ways which can do a favor for you.

Highlight all formula cells with VBA
Select all formula cells with Go To function
In Excel, you can use Go To function to quickly select formula cells only from a worksheet or selection.
1. Press Ctrl + G together to open Go To dialog, and then click Special button. See screenshot:
2. Check Formulas option, then click OK to close the dialog. See screenshot:
Now all the formula cells are selected in the worksheet.
Tip:
1. If you just want to select formula cells in a selection, select a selection before you apply Go To function.
2. You can specify the options in step 2 to select formulas type, such as only error formula.

There is a VBA code also can highlight all formula cells in a range of the whole worksheet.
1. Press Alt + F11 keys to open the Microsoft Visual Basic For Applications window.
2. Click Module > Insert to insert a Module window, and copy the below VBA into the window.

xTitleId = "KutoolsforExcel"
Set WorkRng = Application.Selection
Set WorkRng = Application.InputBox("Range", xTitleId, WorkRng.Address, Type:=8)
Set WorkRng = WorkRng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, 23)
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each Rng In WorkRng
Rng.Interior.ColorIndex = 36
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
