What Is Scenario Manager?
The Scenario Manager can compare datasets with different values. You can change the set of values and perform an analysis to see which scenario suits you better. For example, you have two scenarios. In the first one, you work at a company near your home for $2,000. As it is near your residence, the fuel cost is low and that is $50. In the second scenario, you get an offer from another company with a salary of $2,700. But, the company is far from your home, so you need to pay a higher fuel cost of $150. You can compare these two scenarios and get the best output using the Scenario Manager in Excel.
You can find the Scenario Manager in the Data tab, under the What–If–Analysis option.
