Default Is there a function to solve for an unknown in an equation?

Correct - I am looking for an equation that can do algebra. The solver plugin
takes a lot of time when there are multiple equations. My apologies for the
vague initial post.

Hope this helps.
If it does, please click the Yes button.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

For example, the equation is:


P*R - (P*G) = D + (D*G)


In the worksheet, each cell would have a number associated with a variable
and I would like to solve for G.


Thanks,

Not to answer for the OP but he said the formula was just an example.
It sounds like he is asking if there is a function that can do
algebra. My first thought is "no" but I would be interested in seeing
if there is something that can.
