Example

This example uses the GoalSeek method.
C#Copy Code
FarPoint.Win.Spread.SpreadView sv = fpSpread1.GetRootWorkbook(); 
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[1, 1].Formula = "C1+D1";
fpSpread1.Sheets[0].Cells[0, 3].Value = 2;
sv.GoalSeek(0, 0, 2, 0, 1, 1, 32);
Visual BasicCopy Code
Dim sv As FarPoint.Win.Spread.SpreadView = FpSpread1.GetRootWorkbook
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Cells(1, 1).Formula = "C1+D1"
FpSpread1.Sheets(0).Cells(0, 3).Value = 2
sv.GoalSeek(0, 0, 2, 0, 1, 1, 32)
