When do you use Goalseek? For which purposes?

RE: Goalseek

Hi Imran

Thanks for your question.

Basically GoalSeek allows you to tell Excel what you want the result of a formula to be, and also tell Excel what inputs to the formula it can change in order to give you the result that you want.

Basically it saves you from having to keep manually adjusting the inputs to a formula to get the result (or a close enough result) that you want to get from your formula.

I hope this answers your question.
Amanda

Excel tip:

Create your own custom list on Excel 2010!

If you know how to use the auto-fill option on Excel then why not create your own customs lists?

The auto fill feature saves you time by allowing you to enter one of the list entries into a cell and then use your mouse to automatically drag the rest of the list into the cells below, above or to either side of the initial cell. When using your mouse to perform this task you will see a thin black cross appear at the bottom right hand side of the cell. Click, hold and drag to make the list appear.

Default lists include weekdays and months. To create your own list in Excel 2010 do the following;

>File
>Options
>Advanced
>Scroll right to the bottom of the page and you will see a buttom "edit custom lists", click this button
>enter your list in the list entries
>click add

Now try it out. Good luck.
