1 Determine whether the paramters, calculations, and outputs are correctly linked.
DECISIONS 2 Decide which parameters we wish to analyse. We will start with a TWO-WAY data table to change the two decision cells
Selling price $1,200 Location A's store size (sq ft): 100, 150, 200, 250, …, 450, 500
Selling price: $800, $900, …, $1300, $1500
Question: What happens to the total monthly income?
Store size 200 200
3 Construct the data table on the same worksheet as our model. Set up a table where:
OUTPUT i) the first row represents different values of Location A's store size (cells J28-R28).
ii) the first column represents different values selling price (cells I29-I36)
Monthly income $ (4,642.13) $ 11,977.14 $ 7,335.00 We will use these values as INPUTS to our model.
PARAMETERS 4 In the upper left corner of the table (I28), reference the OUTPUT that we want to report.
Does not vary by store Set cell I28 to E11 (the total income).
Cost per backpack $ 600.00
Salary (per store) $ 20,000.00 5 Highlight the entire table (cells I28 to R36).
pricing factor 0.0007 On the menu bar, go to Data-> Forecast-> What-if Analysis-> Data Table.
Row input cell: Which number in the model will we vary based on the first row of our data table (i.e. Loc A store size)?
Varies by store Answer - Select cell C7
locationPopularity 500 $ 1,700.00 Column input cell: Which number in the model will we vary based on the first column of our data table (i.e. selling price)?
Cost per sq ft $ 75.00 120 Answer - Select cell C4
6 You can use a max function to determine the maximum monthly income in the table.
CALCULATIONS
Recommendation: we will considers store size: 300sq feet and selling price: $1000 for location A to get the largest monthly income

Introduction
DECISIONS Steps for a ONE-WAY data table. Steps for Scenario Manager
Selling price $1,000 1 Determine whether the paramters, calculations, and outputs are correctly linked. 1 Name the cells that we want to change, as well as the output cell (optional). Go to the name box at the top left of Excel.
2 Decide which parameters we wish to analyse.
Salary cost 2 Go to Data-> Forecast-> What-if Analysis-> Scenario Manager.
Store size 300 200 Question: What happens to the total income if slary cost changes?
3 Click "Add" and follow the instructions to construct each scenario.
OUTPUT You can select more than one "changing cells" and use commas to separate them.
3 Construct the data table on the same worksheet as our model. Set up a table where:
Monthly income $ 3,975.80 $ 25,971.42 $ 29,947.22 i) the column represents different values of "salary" that we want to consider (cells J27-J34)
We will use these values as INPUTS to our model.
PARAMETERS
Does not vary by store
Cost per backpack $ 600.00 4 At the TOP of the table, reference the OUTPUT that we want to report.
Salary (per store) $ 20,000.00 Set cell K26 to E11 (the total income).
pricing factor 0.0007
5 Highlight the entire table (cells J26 to K34).
Varies by store On the menu bar, go to Data-> Forecast-> What-if Analysis-> Data Table.
locationPopularity 500 $ 1,700.00 Row input cell: Which number in the model will we vary based on the first row of our data table?
Cost per sq ft $ 75.00 120 Answer - n/a - leave this blank
Column input cell: Which number in the model will we vary based on the first column of our data table (i.e. salary)?
Answer - Select cell C16
