Goal Seek Tool in Excel

Goal Seek Tool can perform what-if analysis in excel. In Excel 2007, we have goal seek tool under Data -> What-If analysis.






First , write two variable variable1 and variable 2 and calculate their product in cell B10. Cell B10 has the required formula to perform the calculation.
