Discover how to go further with your Excel document through understanding potential formula errors, use intelligent data types, and set goals to reach targets as well as problem-solve with the Solver and Forecast tools offered by Excel 2019. Key concepts in this 7-video course include how to identify formula errors and to understand the wide range of formula error messages; how to check for and evaluate formulas in a workbook; and how to use formulas to estimate loan-related costs and help you estimate and managed repayments. Continue by learning how to use the Goal Seek tool to modify a data variable and reach a target value; how to use the Solver add-in to analyze constraints and variables and optimize data values; and how to insert a Forecast worksheet to display trends and predictions based on available historic data. Finally, observe how to use Data Tables to create what if, variable-based scenarios, and once created, learn to adjust the values and change the calculation options. In order to practice what you have learned, you will find the Word document named Excel 2019 for Windows: Forecasting & Solving Problems Exercise as well as the associated materials in the Resources section.
