Scenario Manager

Why would i use a scenario manager?

RE: Scenario Manager

Hi Martyn

Thank you for your question; and welcome to the forum.

A scenario can be described as a set of cell values that is saved and substituted into your worksheet as required. If you have multiple scenarios saved, you can use the Scenario Manager to load different scenarios into your worksheet to see which one gives the best results. For example, you might use scenarios to represent different budget options.

When you are creating scenarios for a worksheet, it is a good idea to create a base scenario with the actual or current data for the worksheet and name it appropriately. This way, when you are exploring the scenarios you have created, you will always be able to return to the original (or actual) data.

Scenarios is covered as part of our Excel Advanced course.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Excel tip:

Sorting List Subtotals

If you find that you would prefer to show the items in a subtotalled list in a different order, eg ascending rather than descending, you can sort your list. To sort a subtotalled list, hide the detail rows and then sort the subtotal rows. When you sort a subtotalled list, the hidden detail rows are automatically moved with the subtotal rows.
IMPORTANT: If you do not hide the details rows before sorting a subtotalled list, your subtotals will be removed and all of the rows in your list will be reordered.
