Join Curt Frye for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating and applying scenarios, part of Creating Business Budgets in Excel 2007.
After you decide on your budget projections for the coming year, you need to…build those projections into your Excel workbook.…You can use scenarios to store those projections and apply them without creating…multiple sets of similar data within a worksheet.…First I'll show you how to create a scenario.…In this case let's say that I'm anticipating a smaller value for…Accounts Receivable.…To create the Scenario I click the Data tab, click What-If Analysis and open…the Scenario Manager.…
Click Add and now I can type-in a scenario name.…And I'll just say LowAR, meaning Accounts Receivable.…I selected the cell that I wanted to change, cell D8.…And now that everything looks correct I can click OK.…And now I have the opportunity to change the value in cell D8.…Let's say that instead of 800,000 let's say that I have 700,000.…I can click OK to create the scenario and go back to the main Scenario Manager…dialog box, or I can click Add and add a new scenario.…
This time I am just going to click OK and go back to the Scenario Manager.…
