Goal Seek in Excel is a built-in tool used to find the input value needed to achieve a specific result in a formula. Essentially, it works backward: instead of providing inputs to get a result, you specify the desired result, and Excel calculates the input that will produce that result.
Here’s how Goal Seek works:
- Set a target value: You define the outcome or “goal” you want for a particular formula.
- Adjust the input cell: Excel changes the value in one input cell to find what would achieve your goal in the formula.
- Calculation: It iteratively calculates until it finds the input that makes the formula reach your target value.
