| |  | |
Previously, I created several self referencing If Statements that would return data when a toggle cell was equal to what I was looking for and would not change if the toggle was equal to something else. This had the effect of providing a data table without having to have the input functions on the same tab as the table. For example, on an excel merger model, on a cases tab I had many different "cases" (one company acquired another at a 10% premium, 15% premium, 20%, 25%, 30%, etc.). On another tab in cell A15, I had this if statement =if(CASES!$A $1=A$14,RESULT,A15) then I would have this same if statement copied and pasted throughout a range that looks like a data table. The result being that I got a data table output without having to create a data table since the inputs are on a different tab.
My problem is that in Excel 2003, excel seemed to run iterations until the problem was solved, now I have to go to the cases tab to toggle through the different options. I was wondering if there has been some kind of functionality switch taht has caused Excel 2007 to stop doing this. Iterations have been turned on and have ranged from 1 iteration to 10,000. Any help would be useful.
As an aside, I cannot move the inputs to my tab or link the Cases tab to my tab. This is not an option. Does anyone have any experience with self referencing If statements? |
