Prevent circular reference in cashflow model

[Kaps_mr2]

Hi,

I have taken over a cashflow model which is do with land acquistion. The model calculates in a land value before cost of finance.


Then you take the cost of finance off however that is worked out on the site value which is being discounted to take account of the cost of finance. The cost of finance however will only be charged on the final calculated land value after the cost of finance.

Hence I am stuck in a circular reference and can't see a way out. Can anybody provide a way of breaking the loop ? Thank you.

knd regards
Kaps

If you cannot restructure the sheet then you can limit the amount of times the formula references the circular referenced cell...

Go to " File "

Go down to " Options "

Click on the " Formula " tab

Under " Calculation Options "

Click the box for " Enable Iterative Calculation "

Then right under that change the number of times you want it to calculate, instead of the default of 100,change it to one, or two, or etc...
