Hi,
I need to write a macro for a goal seek, where the changingcell cell will be dependant on which scenario I am using at the time.

The relevant cells which might be the changingcell cell are in a row, so I figure I should be able to make the changingcell value = an offset from the cell immediately to the left of the relevant cells (I have named this cell "Start"), and I should be able to offset by the scenario number (which is in a cell named "Scenario"). However the following doesn't work, presumably because I haven't got the offset methodology correct.

I have named "Target", the target cell which I want to seek to the value of zero.

Range("Target").GoalSeek Goal:=0, ChangingCell:=Range([Offset ("Start",0, "Scenario")])

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Maybe try:

Code:
Range("Target").GoalSeek Goal:=0, ChangingCell:=Range("Start").Offset(, Range("Scenario").Value)
