Using the What If Analysis and Scenario Manager to Plan for the Future in Microsoft Excel
What-If analysis allows us to look input data and then ask what-if questions of our data based on specific criteria and variables. Data tables allow us to find variations in, for example, loan amounts based on variations in interest rates. By using the Scenario Manager in Microsoft Excel, it is possible to model problems that are more complicated than data tables can handle, involving as many as 32 variables. The Goal Seek command is used to produce a value when some, but not all variables are known.
