In Calc there is tool "Detective". It traces on what cells does the
result depend on. For example, if A3 cell contains value "=A1+A2" the
value depends on A1 and A2.
The precedents are reverse – it points out, which cells uses the value
of the given cell. Example, if A4 cells contains value "=sqrt(A3)" then
A3 has 1 precedent: A4.
I translated it roughly like "incoming" and "outgoing", because they are
represented with arrows and there was no sane way how to express it in
Latvian.

Is is pretty much easy to translate with a sample context.
Thank you for the explanation.
