Vba goal seek
 

Hi. My intent is to find the value in Range("C1") when "AperC"="BperD".
"BperD" turns out to be an invalid qualifier for goal seek. I was
wondering if anyone know of a work around. Thank you much.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim AperC as Double
Dim BperD as Double

AperC = Range("A1")^2 / 10
BperD = Range("B1")^3+Range("C1")

On Error GoTo TheEnd
Application.EnableEvents = False

Do Until AperC=BperD
BperD.GoalSeek Goal:=AperC, _
ChangingCell:=Range("C1")
Loop

TheEnd:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Vba goal seek
 

Try this:

Dim AperC As Double
Dim BperD As Range

AperC = Range("A1") ^ 2 / 10
'Set BperD = Range("B1") ^ 3 + Range("C1")
Range("D1") = "=B1^3+C1"
Set BperD = Range("D1")


On Error GoTo TheEnd
Application.EnableEvents = False

Do Until AperC = BperD
BperD.GoalSeek Goal:=AperC, ChangingCell:=Range("C1")
Loop

TheEnd:
Application.EnableEvents = True

Vba goal seek
 

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Application.EnableEvents = False
Range("A2").Formula = "=A1^2/10"
Range("B2").Formula = "=B1^3+C1"
Range("A2").Name = "AperC"
Range("B2").Name = "BperD"
Range("C2").Formula = "=AperC-BperD"
On Error GoTo TheEnd

Range("C2").GoalSeek Goal:=0, _
ChangingCell:=Range("C1")


TheEnd:
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

Goalseek works on Cells.

Vba goal seek
 

BperC is a VBA variable declared as double. A double is not an object
that supports properties or methods. GoalSeek is a method that applies
to a Range object.

From what it appears you want to do, add a formula in, say, D1:
=B1^3+C1-A1^2/10.

Now, use Range("D1").Goal Goal:=0,ChangingCell:=Range("C1")

Vba goal seek
 

As I suspected, goal seek only works on ranges. Thanks for all you
inputs

Goal seek iteration control
 

I am looking for a way to control the number of iterations which goal seek
does. The reason why I am looking for is, I want to break-out of the loop if
my formula goes out of range.

Thanks for help

Goal seek iteration control
 

You can control the max number of iterations and the required precision in
ToolsOptions, Calculation Tab.

Or do you mean something else?

Thanks. At each and every instant of goal seek iteration, I wan to monitor
the value (for example compare if it is less than or greater than) and break
out of the goal seek solver. Appreciate if you could suggest some VBA codes.

Maybe not exactly what you require, but here is a function that iterates.
Maybe you can make it suit your needs.

Thanks for the code, its good for linear.
