The Sensitivity Toolkit was created to bring the most powerful tools of sensitivity analysis to the spreadsheet. The Toolkit supports four different forms of sensitivity analysis:
Data Sensitivity creates a table and chart to show how an output cell varies with changes in one (or two) inputs. In Tornado Chart, a set of parameters is varied from low to high and the results for a single output cell are reported. Solver Sensitivity runs the optimization program Solver on a spreadsheet for a set of values for one (or two) parameters. Similarly, Crystal Ball Sensitivity runs the simulation program Crystal Ball on a spreadsheet for a set of values for one (or two) parameters.
