u144175 do you by any chance use Oracle Content (the Oracle version of Dropbox)? I work for Oracle and find that the Excel add-in for Oracle Content causes the same problem with Excel Goal Seek. It's really annoying.

 

It could also be another add-in.

 

  1. Go to File->Options->Add-ins
  2. Look at the "Active Application Add-ins"
  3. You can then select "COM Add-ins" at the bottom of the dialog and to manage the addins and remove them. (you need to run Excel as admin)

 

Removing the Oracle Content add-in fixed the problem for me, but it does get added back in when the software updates.

 

Hope this helps somehow,.
