4) Optionally add some information to the Comment box. The example shows the
default comment. This information is displayed in the Navigator when you click
the Scenarios icon and select the desired scenario.
5) Optionally select or deselect the options in the Settings section. See page 246
for more information about these options.
6) Click OK to close the dialog. The new scenario is automatically activated.
You can create several scenarios for any given range of cells.
Settings
The lower portion of the Create Scenario dialog contains several options. The default
settings (as shown in Figure 243) are likely to be suitable in most situations.
Display border
Places a border around the range of cells that your scenario alters. To choose the
color of the border, use the field to the right of this option. The border has a title
bar displaying the name of the active scenario. Click the arrow button to the right
of the scenario name to open a drop-down list of all the scenarios that have been
defined for the cells within the border. You can choose any of the scenarios from
this list at any time.
Copy back
Copies any changes you make to the values of scenario cells back into the active
scenario. If you do not select this option, the saved scenario values are never
changed when you make changes. The actual behavior of the Copy back setting
depends on the cell protection, the sheet protection, and the Prevent changes
setting (see Table 11 on page 247).
Caution
If you are viewing a scenario which has Copy back enabled and then
create a new scenario by changing the values and selecting Tools >
Scenarios, you also inadvertently overwrite the values in the first
scenario.
This is easily avoided if you leave the current values alone, create a new
scenario with Copy back enabled, and then change the values only when
you are viewing the new scenario.
Copy entire sheet
Adds to your document a sheet that permanently displays the new scenario in full.
This is in addition to creating the scenario and making it selectable on the original
sheet as normal.
Prevent changes
Prevents changes to a Copy back-enabled scenario when the sheet is protected
but the cells are not. Also prevents changes to the settings described in this
section while the sheet is protected. A fuller explanation of the effect this option
has in different situations is given below.
Changing scenarios
Scenarios have two aspects that can be altered independently:
• Scenario properties (the settings described above)
• Scenario cell values (the entries within the scenario border)
