Excel or what-if analysis via computer programs.
Goal-seek software only works if there’s only one input
value, however. Understand Goal Seeking
Goal seeking is a general term used to describe the process
involved in figuring out your input value based on an already known output value.
The process involves using a specific operator in a formula,
which can be calculated using computer software. Goal seeking is one of the tools used in "what-if analysis" on computer software programs.
A what-if analysis is a process of changing values in
(Microsoft Excel) cells to see how these changes will affect formula outcomes on the worksheet.
