Default mimic goalseek

Just to add:

goalseek uses the setting in the Iterations section of
tools=Options=Calculation.

OK.

Right now, an input box appears. The user types in a number.
The number the user inputs is the goal that I want to affect the Price.

if i used goalseek, it would look like:

range("W42").goalseek goal:=newCV, changingcell:=range(price)

i don't have a set number of iterations. i just want it to reach the goal

as
close as possible and update the cell at the end.

Can you please help me?

Just keep substituting values (incrementing your start value) until your
function achieves the goal (within a tolerance), or you reach some limit

in
the number of increments. I don't think goalseek is any smarter than

that.

I need to write a function that will mimic the function of goalseek.

I cannot use .goalseek in my code for other platforms cannot support.

If anyone could help me... it would be appreciated.
