scenarios (Scenarios)

A collection of Scenarios. A scenario is a named what-if model that includes variable cells linked together by one or more formulas. For example, you might want to compare best-case and worst-case scenarios for sales in a coffee shop, based on the number of cups of coffee sold in a week.

[Example:

<scenarios current="1" show="0" sqref="G4 G6 G7 G8">
<scenario name="Best Case" locked="1" count="3" user="anonymous"
comment="Created on 6/9/2006_x000a_Modified on 6/9/2006">
<inputCells r="D5" val="151" numFmtId="37"/>
<inputCells r="D9" val="226"/>
<inputCells r="D13" val="126"/>
</scenario>

<scenario name="Worst Case" locked="1" count="3" user="anonymous"
comment="Created on 6/9/2006">
<inputCells r="D5" val="50" numFmtId="37"/>
<inputCells r="D9" val="40"/>
<inputCells r="D13" val="30"/>
</scenario>
</scenarios>
