OPTIMIZING A RESULT WITH GOAL SEEK
Excel gives you a powerful tool for finding a way to reach your goals. For example, if you need a
loan for a new home, your goal might be to pay a specific monthly payment. You can use the Goal
Seek feature to show how you can reach your goal by adjusting one of the loan terms such as
interest rate or loan amount.
