Hi,
Believe you need in cell B1 : =B2*(1-B3) Then you can play with goal seek ... HTH Cheer Carim |

You need a value in B1 before Goal Seek will work. Right now Goal Seek
treats the empty space as a 0 value. Goal Seek is meant to change the value currently in a cell, not propose an initial value. If the cell has no value, Goal Seek interprets that as a 0 value. -- Brevity is the soul of wit.

Another consideration: what profit calculation are you performing?
Gross margin is a different calculation than markup. Gross margin = (Price - Cost) / Price Markup = (Price - Cost) / Cost |
