Sensitivity Analysis is a tool used in financial modeling to analyze how the different values of a set of independent variables affect a specific dependent variable under certain specific conditions. In general, Sensitivity Analysis is used in a wide range of fields – from biology and geography to economics and engineering.

A Financial Sensitivity Analysis, also known as a What-If analysis or a What-If simulation exercise, is most commonly used by financial analysts to predict the outcome of a specific action when performed under certain conditions. It is done within defined boundaries that are determined by the set of independent (input) variables.

The analysis is performed in Excel under the Data section of the ribbon and the “What-if Analysis” button, which contains Goal Seek and Data Table.
