This is pretty cool.

This functionality is called ‘break back’ in a lot of enterprise modelling software. See [IBM TM1](https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cognos-planning/10.2.1?topic=bre...) and [Anaplan](https://help.anaplan.com/breakback-1b7aa87d-aa13-49f6-8f7d-d...). They generally work in terms of scaling the inputs to match the new output though, which is a bit more basic than this approach.





Interesting, thanks! I had never heard of this. Yes, bidicalc is much more advanced. You can update any value of an arbitrary dependency graph of cells.
