What-if evaluation

Method of viewing various situations in a formula. For example, in Microsoft Excel, a user has the ability of performing a what-if evaluation by placing various different values into a cell and comparing the results. As seen in the below examples, using a spreadsheet program, a user could quickly manipulate the interest rate and determine what a monthly payment is.

Example One:

Mortgage amount: $100,000
Term: 30 Years
Interest rate: 12.000%
Monthly Payment: $1,028.61

Example Two:

Mortgage amount: $100,000
Term: 30 Years
Interest rate: 8.000%
Monthly Payment: $733.76
