Two-Variable Data Table in Excel

Two-Variable Data Table in Excel allows users to test two variables or values at one time or simultaneously in a data table for created formula. It is only useful when the formula depends on several values that can be used for two variables. For the complete data table, we can test two input cells for a series of values on the basis of the What-If analysis option, which is available under the Data menu tab.

The same amount if a person wants to pay for the next 3% interest rate, then ₹ -202,760.30 Need to pay as EMI. There are so many scenarios for multiple Interest rate and respective re-pay amount as EMI. 

Component of Data Table

  1. Row Input Cell: Enter the value for which a user filled in a row and want to see the analyzed result.
  2. Column Input Cell: Enter the value for which a user filled in a Column and want to see the analyzed result.

When to use Two Variables Data Table:

  • If there are multiple scenarios for two input variables, then prefer two-variable data table tools.
  • If a user wants to use the PMT function, then the Data table will be best for it to see multiple results on changing input values.
  • Most people want to see EMI after changing the month and the Loan amount for the constant interest rate for loan calculation.
  • If a user wants to change the value of the constant variable, it will reflect for all the results array of the data table.

Limitation of the Data Table in Excel

  1. It cannot use more than two variables as an input parameter for analysis because it has the limitation of either use one variable or two variables.
  2. Data tables are calculated each time when a user opens a workbook which has a data table. It will not matter that the user doing any changes in the workbook or not; to save this, a user needs to change the calculation option to Automatically Recalculate the workbook, not the data table.
  3. After applying the data table, the resultant table a user cannot edit or delete a single result because the result is an array. It will throw an error “Cannot change part of a data table.”

Things to Remember About Two Variables Data Table in Excel

If a user wants to edit or delete a part of the result from the data table, then he needs to select the entire array range and then press the Delete key on the keyword. If the user wants to do undo or Ctl+Z, it will not work, and the user needs to go with the previous method.
