Default Goalseek "may not have found a solution"

Hi Tom,

Actually had checked the help before, but hadn't bothered to go through the
first part where it said: Returns True if the goal seek is successful. Just
checked the example and didn't find anything like a flag for success. Guess
the example always doesn't show everything. Anyway, thanks again.

It isn't the only way. You could consult the help on goalseek and see:

"Returns True if the goal seek is successful."

Dim bRes as Boolean
bRes = Range("H5").GoalSeek( Goal:=0, ChangingCell:=Range("E5"))

Trusting the help - I haven't tested it.

I am using the goalseek as follows

Range("H5").GoalSeek Goal:=0, ChangingCell:=Range("E5")

Sometimes I don't get a result. Manual running of the goal seek

would
give
me: May not have found a solution.
Whereas in VBA I don't get such a warning and the result is dumped

in
my
oupput cell. Is there some kind of flag or anything which could tell

me
if
the goal seek has found a solution or not...?
