Definition of Iteration:-
It is the repeated calculation of a worksheet until a specific numeric condition is met. Excel cannot automatically calculate a formula that refers to the cell — either directly or indirectly — that contains the formula. This is called a circular reference. If a formula refers back to one of its cells, you must determine how many times the formula should recalculate. Circular references can iterate indefinitely. However, you can control the maximum number of iterations and the amount of acceptable change.
The Enable Iterative calculations option allows us to do so.
Go to File > Options.
Excel Options dialog box will appear. Click Formula and tick the checkbox enable iterative calculations and click OK.
Now perform the Iterative option in Excel.
Use the formula in A1 cell
Use the formula in A2 cell
As you can see the blue arrow pointing towards each other shows that the values of both cells depend on each other’s value.

Hi, I would like to iterate a column vector for 10 times, for example:
1.31
