What is one of the advantages of using multiple scenario columns in a worksheet?

Utilizing multiple scenario columns in a worksheet offers the advantage of comparing user-specified scenarios with predefined scenarios created by the workbook author. This functionality is essential for analyzing various outcomes based on different inputs or assumptions, facilitating decision-making processes. By having multiple scenarios side by side, users can easily evaluate the impact of changes in variables and assess potential results in a structured manner. This comparison enables deeper insights into the data and allows for more informed forecasting and strategic planning.

In contrast, other options either do not capture the essential functionality of scenario columns or misrepresent their capabilities. Displaying a summary of all data, while useful, does not specifically leverage the power of scenario comparison. Similarly, restricting modifications to all records does not enhance the comparative analysis that scenario columns provide, nor does the automatic hiding of scenarios contribute to the evaluation of multiple outcomes, which is the primary benefit of utilizing these columns.
