Excel 2010 provides powerful data-analysis tools that enable you to explore large amounts of data and to make educated business decisions based on that data. Using Goal Seek and Solver enables you to retrieve required results from formulas by determining the data the formula requires. And you can use additional what-if analysis components, data tables and scenarios, to forecast worksheet outcome models and to see how changing values in formulas affect the formula results.
