Application Overview:
Microsoft Excel

Microsoft Excel is a powerful tool to create and format spreadsheets and to analyze, evaluate, and calculate data. You can use advanced features to manage, track, and chart critical business data to create rich data visualization, PivotTable views, and professional-looking charts. Goal Seek is another advanced feature, part of a suite of commands sometimes called what-if analysis tools. When you know the desired result of a single formula but not the input value the formula needs to determine the result, you can use the Goal Seek feature available by clicking Goal Seek on the Tools menu. When goal seeking, Microsoft Excel varies the value in one specific cell until a formula that's dependent on that cell returns the result you want.

Users: IT, Database, Engineering, Finance, Legal, Marketing and Admin Professionals as well as anyone who needs create and edit spreedsheets that can be searched, sorted, analysed, reported, updated and shared with other users.
