When using Goal Seek.If you change the number x(see below).The total number changes even though I set a Goal seek to find 20
10
x
_
20
I set a goal seek to find 20 but if I change the x t0 11 the total changes to 21.
Does this mean that you can only use a Goal Seek once?

RE: Goal Seek
Hi Daniel,
Thank you for your question.
Goal Seek is only set on a formula. You can use it as many times as you need. In your scenario, if the cells are set as following:
A1: 10
A2: x
A3: A1+A2
Then the goal seek setting will be:
Set cell: A3
To value: 20
By changing cell: A2
If you press OK, the computer will set the new value of A2 is 10. If you press Cancel, the computer will change the numbers back to original.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Katie Woo

Excel tip:Converting an American date format to European using FormulaExcel depending on your local setting will only pick up date values of the dd mmm yyyy oders as date type. If you import data from various sources including America their date order is different with data value in mmm dd yyyy, excel can only treat it as text indicated by left aligning it. To overcome this you have to do the the following. |
