Goal Seeker Giving Wrong Answer
It may be my error, but it appears goal seeker is giving me the wrong answer.
A1=238 A2=389 A3=36080 A4=(A1+A2)/A3 = 0.017378 I want to find what value is needed in A3 to give the result of 0.0110 in A4. If I do it manually, the number in A3 needs to be 57000. Goal Seeker is telling me it should be 54105. What am I doing wrong? |
