can this be done?
 

I have a spreadsheet that has a number of functions/formulas setup in it.
There are four cells that I enter numbers in and everything
updates/calculates accordingly. Is there a way to have excel put in
different numbers and spit out the best result? For example, put in 1 for
cell A2, then 2, then 3, and so on.

Search for "Goal Seek" and "Solver"in XL Help.

Hi

Have a look at Tools|Goal Seek. Using this you can set up a calculation to
achieve a desired result by adjusting one of the figures in that
calculation.
