Excel's Goal Seek tool is in the Data Tools Tab as a part of What-If Analysis in the Excel Ribbon.
Goal seek can be described as follows:

• It is the opposite of a formula: instead of finding the end result, you give it the end result and it gives you the input
• It eliminates the trial and error process
• It is like guessing on speed. It’s useful for situations where you want quick answers
• It is a simplified Solver

The main advantage of Goal seek is that you don’t have to change your Excel formulas or turn a formula field to an input field.
