Excel Financial Modeling | Sensitivity & Scenario Analysis

Use sensitivity analysis, scenario analysis, and goal seek/solver to evaluate different scenarios and forecast how a business is going to perform.

1. Goal Seek / Solver: using goal seek, we can find an input to reach our desired output. For example, how many sales do we need to generate to make a million dollars. Excel Solver is the advanced version of this, where we can choose multiple inputs and set constraints to reach our desired output.
2. Sensitivity Analysis: using a sensitivity analysis table we can evaluate how changing a set of inputs will affect our profitability. The inputs we change are the price range and the quantity sold range. This is one of the functions on the What-If-Analysis section under the data tab of Excel.
3. Scenario Analysis: using a scenario analysis, we can see how different revenue and cost forecast will affect our profitability. For this we create a base, best, and worst case scenario, and use the choose formula to create a dynamic model.

    Hello Kenji! Thank you for the quick tips and lessons, you really helped me in my career. If I may request a topic, can you bring up sensitivity analysis in the perspective of risk management? As in trying to find out from a financial model which change in an independent variable contributes the most to the change of the output. So that we can find out which independent variable to keep an eye on and divide our risk management resources accordingly.

Also when i selected units as variables for column section and price as variable for row section, the results are different, do you know the reason for this?

    Just FYI for the 2nd example (data table) the values in the video of the table are different than if you were to input product price manually; even though it says integers of 6-10 in the column, the actual value is the goal seek approximation of 8.2134.... ±1. Thus, the values in the table differ if you input price manually or copy/paste the values

    First thank you for your well-designed education program. When I use SOLVER, solving your SOLVER example, I encountered different solution pair sets like (22,626 #units; 8,79 usd/units), (18,865; 9,99), (24,026; 8,43), (24,394; 8,35) and so forth other than your base pair set (25,000; 8,21). I guess they are endless. My question is, is that correct? And if so whether we can make an automated table like "DATA TABLE"?
