SCENARIO

A scenario is essentially a saved set of cell values which can be used for
performing some calculation(s). It allows us to save different set of
values within the same range of cells with different scenario names for
performing same calculations and analysis for each set of data. Each
scenario is named, and can be edited and formatted separately. When
spreadsheet is printed, only the contents of the currently active
scenario are printed.

 Goal Seek
It is a tool of OpenOffice Calc, which is used to calculate a value/result,
based on a formula, by automatically changing the value of an arbitrary
argument of the formula, keeping the other arguments fixed. The
variable argument can be a cell address or a cell range. The other
arguments of the formula can be cell addresses or fixed values. Only
one argument can be altered in a single goal Seek.
Steps to apply Goal Seek:
1> Type the required data in the required cells and type the required
formula in the target cell.
2> Click on the target cell to make it active cell and click on Tools >>
Goal Seek…
3> In “Goal Seek” dialog box,
4> Click on “Target Value” box and type the required new target value
to be displayed in the target cell.
5> Click on “Variable Cell” box and then click on the cell which is part of
the formula and is to be changed automatically to achieve the target
value.
