TO Make The Data Source And Entering Data
Goal Seek is Excel's built-in What-If Analysis tool that shows how one value in a formula
impacts another. More precisely, it determines what value you should enter in an input cell
to get the desired result in a formula cell.
The best thing about Excel Goal Seek is that it performs all calculations behind the scenes,
and you are only asked to specify these three parameters:
• Formula cell
• Target/desired value
• The cell to change in order to achieve the target
The Goal Seek tool is especially useful for doing sensitivity analysis in financial modeling
and is widely used by management majors and business owner. But there are many other
uses that may prove helpful to you.
For instance, Goal Seek can tell you how much sales you have to make in a certain period to
reach $100,000 annual net profit. Or, what score you must achieve for your last exam to
receive an overall passing score of 70%. Or, how many votes you need to get in order to
win the election.
On the whole, whenever you want a formula to return a specific result but are not sure
what input value within the formula to adjust to get that result, stop guessing and use the
Excel Goal Seek function!
a.In cell B1, type 100000. This is the amount that you want to borrow.
b.In cell B2, type 180. This is the number of months that you want to pay off the loan.
4.Next, add the formula for which you have a goal. For the example, use the PMT
function:
a.In cell B4, type =PMT(B3/12,B2,B1). This formula calculates the payment amount. In
this example, you want to pay $900 each month. You don't enter that amount here,
because you want to use Goal Seek to determine the interest rate, and Goal Seek
requires that you start with a formula.
The formula refers to cells B1 and B2, which contain values that you specified in
preceding steps. The formula also refers to cell B3, which is where you will specify that
Goal Seek put the interest rate. The formula divides the value in B3 by 12 because you
specified a monthly payment, and the PMT function assumes an annual interest rate.
Because there is no value in cell B3, Excel assumes a 0% interest rate and, using the
values in the example, returns a payment of $555.56. You can ignore that value for now.
