Weegy: DDE stands for Dynamic Data Exchange. That's exactly what it does, and nothing more. It sends data between applications using Windows messages according to a documented protocol. [ Saying that DDE is old-fashioned and is being replaced by COM is something you see repeated parrot fashion over and over again. DDE and COM do not work in the same way and they solve different problems. Here are some points of difference: ] User: how do you use Dynamic Data Exchange with Excel? (More)

Weegy: The following sample uses an Excel workbook or a Word document for the DDE topic. (More)

Weegy: here are many ways to share data between databases and spreadsheets. The most powerful way is to use ActiveX Data Objects and Visual Basic for Applications to program the exchange. [ Data transferred this way can be exchanged based on a schedule, it can be validated before the transfer is completed and it can ‘massaged’ by either the sending or receiving application ] (More)

Weegy: y using what-if analysis tools in Microsoft Office Excel, you can use several different sets of values in one or more formulas to explore all the various results. For example, [ you can do what-if analysis to build two budgets that each assumes a certain level of revenue. Or, you can specify a result that you want a formula to produce, and then determine what sets of values will produce that result. Excel provides several different tools to help you perform the type of analysis that fits your needs. ] (More)

Weegy: Three kinds of what-if analysis tools come with Excel: scenarios, data tables, and Goal Seek. Scenarios and data tables take sets of input values and determine possible results. [ A data table works only with one or two variables, but it can accept many different values for those variables. A scenario can have multiple variables, but it can accommodate only up to 32 values. Goal Seek works differently from scenarios and data tables in that it takes a result and determines possible input values that produce that result. In addition to these three tools, you can install add-ins that help you perform what-if analysis, such as the Solver add-in. The Solver add-in is similar to Goal Seek, but it can accommodate more variables. You can also create forecasts by using the fill handle and various commands that are built into Excel. For more advanced models, you can use the Analysis Pack add-in. ] (More)
