Hi,

May i suggest a quick and dirty way of reducing your work - use the solver
add in available in Excel.

How it would work is that you add 5 rows of the cells in both the "Current
comp" and "New Comp" column and take the difference between them. Now one
condition in the Solver will be that this difference will be 0. The other 5
conditions will be that each cell of "Current comp" will be equal to the
corresponding cell under "New comp".

As stated, this is a crude way of doing it but it can save you the trouble
of goal seeking cell by cell.

Please go through the help available on the Help menu to understand more
about this.

Also, could you mail me the file please.
