What-if analysis of only ONE variable change?

I have used what-if analysis, when I have 2-D table with 2 variables. i.e. if variable 1 has 10 different values and variable 2 has 7 different values, result table would be 70 results.

However, sometimes I need what-if analysis of only one variable that could have 1-X different values. It would be silly to build what-what if scenario for that because it would require many useless rows and columns. In fact now I only need what-if analysis of one single variable changed for another value. How could it be done effectively that requires only 1 cell?

Is there a tool or formula to effectively do "calculate results as if [linked cell] would have value X" ?

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Hi

It's the same tool. You don't have to use the 2 variables, you can just use 1.

P. S. notice that if you use just 1 variable, for ex. to build a vertical table, the formula will go above the second column, not above the first column, as for the case of 2 variables.
