How Does What-If Analysis Benefit A Business?

[Xpocalypse]

Hello, I have been given an assignment but don't know what to write as I don't know what the benefits are. Basicly I need to know what the benefits are for "Data Tables" and "Scenario Manager" if you were in a business. How will they help or benefit the business??

I woukld have thought that was easy to research. A business can use them to estimate the effects of various changes on the business
