Instructions
<\/strong>After you have identified the goal seek sources and result targets to run for, run the Bulk Goal Seek<\/strong>\u00a0macro.\u00a0 The first time you run it, it will create a sheet called Bulk_Goal_Seek<\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0 This is where you\u2019ll specify the goal seek sheets, ranges, and goal values.\u00a0 After filling in the values, run the Bulk Goal Seek<\/strong> macro again to process the contents.\u00a0 These are the fields in the Bulk_Goal_Seek<\/strong><\/span> sheet that you\u2019ll want to fill in:<\/p>\n
\n

Column B \u2013 Goal seek range<\/strong> (required) \u2013 enter the range address\/name to apply goal seek on (the target\/result containing a formula).\u00a0 Note if entering a range name, the range name must only contain one cell.<\/li>\n
Column C \u2013 Range goal value<\/strong> (required) \u2013 enter (or reference) the range goal value you are seeking.<\/li>\n
Column D \u2013 Change sheet<\/strong> (required) \u2013 enter the name of the sheet containing the range to change.<\/li>\n
