Adding Auto Layout to frames in Figma - Cell-by-Cell Formula Trace

Sample Data

This data shows two frames with their dimensions and whether Auto Layout is applied.

Cell	Value
A1	Frame Name
B1	Width
C1	Height
D1	Auto Layout
A2	Header
B2	300
C2	100
D2	No
A3	Content
B3	400
C3	200
D3	No

Formula Trace

Set Auto Layout to 'Yes' for frames where Width > 300

Step 1: Check Width in B2 (300) > 300

Step 2: Check Width in B3 (400) > 300

Step 3: Update D3 from 'No' to 'Yes'

Cell Reference Map

    A       B       C       D
1 |Frame  |Width  |Height |Auto Layout
2 |Header |  300  |  100  |   No
3 |Content|  400  |  200  |  No -> Yes

Arrows: B3 -> D3 (condition check and update)

The formula checks the Width column (B) for each frame and updates the Auto Layout column (D) accordingly.

Result

    A       B       C       D
1 |Frame  |Width  |Height |Auto Layout
2 |Header |  300  |  100  |   No
3 |Content|  400  |  200  |  Yes

Auto Layout is applied only to the Content frame.

The final table shows Auto Layout enabled for the Content frame because its width is greater than 300.

Sheet Trace Quiz - 3 Questions

Why does the Header frame keep Auto Layout set to 'No'?

A Because its width is not greater than 300

B Because its height is less than 100

C Because Auto Layout is always 'No' for Header

D Because the formula ignores Header

Key Result

Set Auto Layout to 'Yes' for frames where Width is greater than a threshold value.
