5. Conducting Break-Even and Sensitivity Analyses Break-even analysis – Type of what-if analysis that concentrates on an activity at or around the point at which a product breaks even Sensitivity analysis – Type of what-if analysis that attempts to examine how sensitive the results of an analysis are to changes in the assumptions Succeeding in Business with Microsoft Excel 20105 Level 1 home

11. Types of Data Tables One-variable data tablesTwo-variable data tables One input cell and many result cells Set of input values must be arranged perpendicular to the set of output formulas, with no value or formula located at the intersection of the set of input values and output formulas Two input cells, only one result cell; determines how two values affect a single result The two sets of input values must be set up perpendicular to each other, and the output formula must be in the cell at the intersection of the two sets of input values Succeeding in Business with Microsoft Excel 201011 Level 1 home

12. Preparing a Worksheet for Data Tables Data table depends on values and formulas used in a worksheet and must appear on the same worksheet that contains this data Worksheet must: – Use input cells that contain values you want to modify in a what-if analysis – Use result cells containing formulas that calculate the values you want to analyze Succeeding in Business with Microsoft Excel 201012 Level 1 home

25. Comparing the Results of Complex Analyses Excel Scenario Manager – Perform what-if analysis with more than two input cells – Define and save sets of values as scenarios; view and change them to produce and compare different results Requirements for running a scenario – Well-structured input and output sections – Output depends on input through use of formulas – Changing cells and results cells must be on same worksheet; cannot span worksheets Succeeding in Business with Microsoft Excel 201025 Level 2 home
