    Post Calculated field to get the needed Sales to achieve goal

    Excel experts, i need help to come up with a calculated field that will essentially work as a goal seeker. Here's the scenario:

    Conversion Rate% = Sales / Sales + Disconnect

    Given that we have Sales and disconnect on the data, I need a calculated field formula to compute for the needed sales to achieve the 34% Goal Conversion Rate. On the attached sample, i used Goal seek to get the needed sales. See attached for the sample data.

    Try in B1:
    =B5*100/(1-B5)-B6

    Thanks but it only works on the example figures. It's becoming inaccurate when i changed the number of disconnected sales.

    Another way:

    A
    B
    C
    1
    Conversion Goal
    34%
    B1: Input
    2
    Losses
    100
    B2: Input
    3
    Wins
    34
    B3: Input
    4
    Add'l wins to meet goal
    17.515
    B4: =(SUM(B2:B3) * B1 - B3) / (1 - B1)
    5
    Check
    34.00%
    B5: =SUM(B3:B4)/SUM(B2:B4)
