I am trying to set up something like Goal Seek in VBA so
that I can run the following calculation (which has been
simplified):

A1 = X
A2 = A1*100
A3 = 500

I want to write VBA code that will calculate "X" for A1 to
equal 5 (since X*100=500). I cannot rewrite the formula in
A1 because A2 is actually a combination of hundreds of
formulas. Also, I can't use Goal Seek. I need something
that will run random numbers until it finds a match. Any
ideas? Thanks.

Fastest way to copy a worksheet?
Hold down the Ctrl key while dragging tab for Sheet1 to the right. Excel will make a copy of the worksheet.
Why have you concluded that you can't use Goal Seek? Won't this work...

Range("A2").GoalSeek Goal:=Range("A3"), ChangingCell:=Range("A1")
