Final answer:
To use Goal Seek in Excel for changing the value in cell D4, access it via the Data tab and follow the steps to set your target value and determine the changing cell that Goal Seek will adjust to reach that target for D4.
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the changing value in cell D4 using Goal Seek in Excel, first ensure that you have a formula in cell D4 that references other cells. Goal Seek will then adjust one of those referenced cells to achieve a specific target value in D4. Here's how you can use Goal Seek:
- Go to the Data tab on the Excel ribbon.
- Click on 'What-If Analysis' in the Forecast group.
- Select 'Goal Seek' from the drop-down menu.
- Set cell D4 as the 'Set cell'.
- Enter the target value you want D4 to have.
- Determine which cell to change to reach the target value in D4.
- Click 'OK' for Excel to begin the Goal Seek process.
Once Goal Seek has finished, Excel will display whether it has found a solution and the corresponding value of the changing cell that achieves the target in D4.
