The list may be by column or row. In our example, we will enter a column list in the range D9 to D Step 2 - In an adjacent column, enter the formula which was used to arrive at the original outcome. This links our new data table to the original variables.
Step 3 - Select the entire data table range, including the list of variable values, the formula, and blank cells. Step 5 - In the column input cell field since we entered our variables in column format , enter the cell reference that was used to calculate the result in the original dataset. In the above example, this would be cell B1 since this is the variable we have adjusted. Step 6 - Select OK.
The result is a list of outcomes created by adjusting the one variable in cell B1, assuming that all other variables remain constant. To create a row-oriented data table, the variables would be listed horizontally, and the row input cell would be used in the Data Table window instead of the column input cell. When creating a two-variable data table, one set of values is listed horizontally and the other set is listed vertically. In our example, we will add the loan period term as our second variable, displayed horizontally.
In this case, the formula which was used to arrive at the original outcome must be replicated above the vertical list of variables. As before, highlight the entire data table range and select Data Table from the What If Analysis menu. The row input cell is the cell reference B3 that corresponds to the horizontal variables from the original dataset, while the column input cell B1 corresponds to the vertical variables.
When we select OK, Excel returns a matrix that can be used to compare the outcome of different changes to our original scenario. It may be necessary to adjust the output cells to the appropriate number format for your data type in the case of the above example, currency.

Loved this? Now you need to know the profit scenario if some of your expenses increase or decrease. Now you have listed out all the scenarios in the form. In order to create what-if analysis scenarios, follow the below steps. Total excel has created 3 scenarios even though we have supplied only 2 scenario changes because excel will show existing reports as one scenario. What-if Analysis Goal can tell you what you have to do to achieve the set target.
Andrew is a class 10 th student. His target is to achieve an average score of 85 in the final exam, and he has already completed 5 exams and left with only 1 exam. In the completed 5 exams, the anticipated scores are as below.
Now the question is how much he has to score in the final exam to get an overall average of 85 eventually. The next and final part is by changing which cell you want to see the impact.
Now we have our results here. In order to get an overall average of 85, Andrew has to score 99 in the final exam. We have already seen two wonderful techniques under What-If Analysis in Excel. The data table can create different scenario tables based on the change of variable. In simple terms, it helps determine what effect does changing the two variables have on the result.
The data inputs in one variable data table are either in a single column or across a row. Assume you are a selling a product at 15 rupees, your total anticipated expense is and profit is You are not happy with the profit you are getting. Your anticipated profit is Then it will ask for the Scenario name and changing cells. Give scenario name whatever you want as per your requirement. Changing cells is the range of cells that your scenario values for different scenarios.
Suppose if we observe the below screenshot. Whenever you click on the scenario and show the results at the back will change. If we want to see all the scenarios at a time to compare with others, click on the summary the following screen will come. Here the columns in grey color are the changing values, and the column in white color is the current value which was the last selected scenario results.
Suppose we will take a small example of product sale. Suppose we know that we want to sell the product at an additional price of than product cost then we want to know what is the percentage we are earning the profit. Observe the above screenshot product cost is , and I have given the formula for finding the percentage profit, which you can observe in the formula bar. In one more cell, I gave the formula for the additional price which we want to sell. In the set, the cell gives the cell position where we are going to give the output value here the additional price amount we know which we are giving in cell C4.
The profit percentage is 30, and the selling price should be Similarly, we can check for different targeted values. This goal seeks to help to find the EMI calculations etc. Now we will see the Data table. We will consider a very small example to understand better.
