Goal Seek helps you calculate input value required to reach the result. For example, you can estimate how many products must be sold to reach a revenue goal of $2 million.
Here's how you use Goal Seek to devise estimates:
- Go to Data > Goal Seek.
- In the dialog box that appears, enter the following:
- Target cell: The cell containing the formula that gives the final output (e.g. revenue).
- Variable cell: The input cell that the formula depends on (e.g. units sold).
- Expected result: The output value you want to reach.
- After you run Goal Seek, Zoho Sheet automatically adjusts the variable cell to meet the expected result.
- Click Ok.
