Hello,
I am trying to conduct a what-if analysis for a fairly simple financial model. This model is basically one extensive income statement that contains historical data as well as forward-looking statements. Historical data is hard-coded while the forecast data is driven by revenue, expense, and other miscellaneous assumptions. At any given point, I want to manipulate the revenue assumption for the upcoming period to see what the effect would be, not only on that period, but for all future periods. Clearly, the easiest way to do this would be to punch in different assumptions to see what the outcome would be. However, I want to develop something that would outline multiple outcomes (for example, 10%, 30%, or 50% growths) of these revenue adjustments all at the same time. I tried using scenarios (under ToolsScenarios) and that works great except that it cannot show multiple outcomes all on one page at the same time. I messed around with Summary function under scenarios, but those outputs seem gear towards one-time analysis rather than for something that would need to be revisited each month. I was wondering if there is any other way to get the Scenarios to publish the effects of different inputs as a separate report that has more functionality and transparency. I also tried using data tables, which work fine if I just want to see different outcomes for one period, but if I want to see how those one period changes would affect other future periods, I would need to build additional steps to implement it into my main model (toggle switches, etc.) Any help/insight will be appreciated! |
