Default how to develop a formula where assumed value in a cell is used to

Go to program options and find Calculations (or Formulas in XL 2007).
Turn on iterative calculations, and set the "maximum change" value to
0.1, and a desired "maximum iterations" value.

From there, since you didn't specify the formulae you're using, the

general technique I use involves this:

(1). A cell which determines whether to make the formula loop circular
(TRUE/FALSE or 1/0 value)
(2). A cell that contains the initial "guess" value
(3). A reference cell that is reused in calculation
(4). A cell that conditionally refers to the (2) when (1) is FALSE,
and to (3) when (1) is TRUE

Then, you enter your parameters, set (1) to true, and watch it go.

Hope that's helpful to your situation.

i want to develop a formula where a cell value is first assumed to calculate
parameters of a machine.the parameter assumed is also obtained by calculation
. how to ensure that assumed value is replced with calculated value and all
calculations are repeted till difference between assumed and calculated value
is less than 0.1
