Because some worksheet data is constantly evolving,
the ability to create multiple scenarios lets you speculate on a variety
of outcomes. For example, the marketing department might want to see
how its budget would be affected if sales decreased by 25 percent.
Although it’s easy enough to plug in different numbers in formulas,
Excel allows you to save these values and then recall them at a later
time.
