I am trying to get around a circular reference on a worksheet by using
a Loop. I need to loop until 2 cells equal each other. However one
cell is based on the other hence the circular reference. My thought
was that I would just start with 1 increase the cell value by .01 let
the workbook calc see if they are equal and loop until they are. I am
not sure if this is possible or if this is the best way to accomplish
this.

Thanks

have you try goal seek on tools menu?

Also if calc resolve with enough calcs you can try set calc mode iteration
on.

Rather than spending the time it would take to write the code, I would put a
formula in a third cell dividing one of your two values by the other. Then
use the Goal Seek tool to make the third cell equal to 1 by changing the one
you want to change. Much quicker and easier than writing code, as much fun
as that is.
