Hi Rajan, formula is in B6, B5 is the set value, we need to predict B4.
We will get the refreshed value in cell B5. ( Means this value is coming again and again fro the DB ). Please let me know if iteration will help. ?

Regards Rajan verma +91 7838100659 [IM-Gtalk] From:[email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of ANKUR AGGARWAL Sent: 21 June 2012 2:52 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: $$Excel-Macros$$ Automating a goal seek using an excel formula Let me redefine the problem, We are getting NPV values from some data base. Based on NPV value, we have to automate a process which will back calculate the discount rate using NPV formula in excel. In excel, goal seek will serve the purpose, but since you will refresh NPV values, one has to manually perform goal seek each time. One solution is that we need to have a button to suffice the required need but we do not want macro, we need an excel formula, can any formula is possible which wil be dynamic enough to do so. To my knowledge it's not possible. But I wants expert comment. Please let me know asap. Its very urgent.

Set value in goal seek function will get refreshed every day, we don't want to manually apply goal seek each time neither wanna use the macro to automate that. Can it be done using any dynamic excel formula ? Warm Regards Ankur Aggarwal Analyst -- -- FORUM RULES (986+ members already BANNED for violation) 1) Use concise, accurate thread titles.
