This is a platform that is too readily adopted in the financial modelling arena and although neat should be reserved for a very rainy day! I say to my team, "when all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail!" The particular solution you quote seems to be popping up a lot lately, Simon over at The Knowledge Base http://www.tkb.co.uk/circular.htm ..has also documented it and it has had a lot of air-time over at Plum Solutions LinkedIn group "Financial Modelling in Excel". Maybe we should do a full posting on it? Nick Hey Rickard,

I prefer using Autoshapes rather than 'Button' as illustrated by the following two VBA tutorial documents: http://www.bettersolutions.com/excel/ECC653/LC216621011.htm Step 4 - Assigning to a Graphic or AutoShape Or, check the coding of the disclaimer in one of our Corality Tutorials: http://www.corality.com/training/tutorials/goal-seek-function-in-excel Rickard Hi Chris,

Liking the website :) Hi Rickard

The financial modelling tutorial that you are referring to is quite useful and a similar solution can be found on the Sumwise blog which may be of interest. http://blog.sumwise.com/2009/08/17/solve-circular-references/ Hi Nick,
