Exploring the power of computers through Excel can lead us to discover amazing tools. One of them is "Goal Seek", a function that has proven to be incredibly useful for performing complex calculations efficiently. This tool illustrates how Microsoft Excel can find answers using fast and accurate iteration, saving us time and avoiding common mistakes.

How do I use the Find Target tool?

To start using Find Target, you first need to be clear about what challenge you want to solve. Let's look at a simple example: we have two numbers in Excel that multiply each other to give us a result. But what if we want this result to change to a specific number? This is where Find Target comes into play.

What are the steps to calculate with Find Target?

Follow the steps below to use Find Target effectively:

Identify the cell to change: Determine which cell whose value you want to define to achieve the expected result.
Define the target value: Set the final value you want to achieve.
Select the cell to change: Choose the cell whose value you want to modify to achieve your desired result.

Once these parameters are set, Excel works at high speed performing multiple operations until it finds the right value that meets your requirements.

How does Find Target formulate the answers?

Find Target is especially powerful in situations where the answers are not obvious to the naked eye. For example, in a scenario where you would try to solve a two-digit multiplication to reach an extremely large number, you can use Find Target without fear of being wrong, reducing any ambiguity in the numbers.

The process may seem simple, but its impact is remarkable. Instead of doing a complicated manual division, Find Target ensures accuracy regardless of the number of operations prior to the final result. This capability makes it an indispensable tool for data analysts and accountants who frequently deal with complex formulas.

A practical example

Suppose you have an Excel table with the following data:

Units sold
Price per unit: 5,000
Cost per unit: 3,000

Here, the "Sales" are calculated by multiplying the number of units by the price per unit, while the "Costs" are determined by the unit cost times the number of units produced. The "Profit" is the difference between these sales and costs.

Solving complex problems in Excel

In a practical scenario, you would like to know how many units you need to sell to make a profit of 5 million. Another exercise might involve calculating what unit cost you should set to make a specific profit by selling 1,000 units. Applying Find Target will allow you to find these answers quickly, adapting to situations similar to those demonstrated in the examples.

Excel and its Find Target function are not only useful tools, but also powerful and flexible instruments to handle a sea of data and ease the way to accurate and fruitful analysis. I encourage you to keep practicing and experimenting to improve your Excel skills and explore the full potential of this amazing platform!

No conocía esta función n.nU. Es cierto que se puede realizar operaciones con formulas y demás para obtener el resultado sin embargo esta función de excel es super útil ya que con solo 3 campos resuelve lo que necesitas en lugar de complicarte en muchas mas celdas.
