Would someone instruct me please about the "Iteration" in the Options
of Tools menu. Please tell me the complete steps to use Iteration option. ... Thanks. Iteration is a way to solve a problem approximately, by repeatedly stepping closer and closer to the answer. Excel uses iteration when you invoke: Tools Goal Seek When iteration works, you can get as close as desired (within Excel's precision limitations) by taking enough steps. Be aware, though, that iteration isn't guaranteed to converge to an answer. It depends on the problem, on the type of iteration method, and on the initial guess. Excel gives a warning if Goal Seek doesn't converge. Usually, iteration continues until either (a) the software takes a maximum number of steps, or (b) the difference between successive steps is small. If you want to control the "maximum number of steps" in (a), or the "difference between successive steps" in (b), you can use the "Iteration" section of the "Options." For most problems, the default values that Excel provides are good enough, and there's no need to change the Iteration option. If you have a problem where the default values don't work, please provide details of what goes wrong. |
