Works as well as Goal Seek in Microsoft's Excel. It's a little counterintuitive in that you have to click the cell you want to use first, then the option to use that cell; whereas in MS Excel you'd click the button to select a cell and then choose the cell. Basically, just make sure you have the correct cells selected for the value to check and the value to alter, and set your options correctly to allow it to complete.

it does work, it works well, and yes it is a bit slow. But it can be quite fun to watch it's progress. It is certainly faster than me doing it myself by trial and error. thumbs up.

Though there are some complications in using Google sheet. This goal seek is an useful tool for playing with numbers and analysis

They added permissions to have full access to all your sheets. I'm uninstalling because of this. It worked well, but now I'm forced to update or remove.
