Goal Seek in JMP

Hello All, 

           Is there an explicit function that performs goal seek in JMP similar to Excel ? A previous thread on the community seems to suggest use of Minimize and Maximize function,. Can someone provide an example?

Re: Goal Seek in JMP

The desirability functions in the Profiler provide the optimization that you're looking for.

The Target desirability will allow you try to match a specific value.

The optimization routines underlying the profiler are the same ones used in the Maximize and Minimize and LPSolve JSL functions but using the Profiler, even through JSL, may be more straightforward than calling the functions directly.
