Practical No.6

Apply the what – if Analysis for data visualization. Design and generate necessary
reports based on the data warehouse data.

What-If Analysis
 What-If Analysis is the process of changing the values in cells to see how those changes will
affect the outcome of formulas on the worksheet.
 What-If Analysis in Excel allows you to try out different values (scenarios) for formulas.
 Three kinds of What-If Analysis tools come with Excel:
 Scenarios, Goal Seek, and Data Tables.
 Scenarios and Data tables take sets of input values and determine possible results.

Goal Seek
 If you know the result that you want from a formula, but you are not sure what input value the
formula requires to get that result, you can use the Goal Seek feature.

Data Table
 If you have a formula that uses one or two variables, or multiple formulas that all use one
common variable, you can use a Data Table to see all the outcomes in one place.

Scenario Manager
 A Scenario Manager is a set of values that Excel saves and can substitute automatically in cells
on a worksheet. You can create and save different groups of values on a worksheet and then
switch to any of these new scenarios to view different results.
