Showing a Scenario

Summary: Save a scenario in the Scenario Manager, and it is a sure bet that you'll want to recall that scenario at some time. This tip explains how to access a scenario you've saved, and what happens when you choose to show the scenario. (This tip works with Microsoft Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002, and Excel 2003.)

Once you have several scenarios set up, it is easy to switch between them. This is done by following these steps:

Choose Scenarios from the Tools manager. Excel displays the Scenario Manager dialog box. (Click here to see a related figure.)
Select the scenario you want to view.
Click on the Show button. Excel changes all the cells in the worksheet to those stored in the scenario.
Click on the Close button. The Scenario Manager is removed and you are returned to your modified worksheet.
