Excel 2010 :: Using Solver / What-if Analysis For Multiple Objectives
Nov 10, 2013
I'm using Excel 2010 for Mac.
Here's my problem: I need to keep two values subject to two upper limits (i.e: value 1 < x, value 2 < y).
These two values are equations that are dependant on 3 variables. The relationship between these variables are not linear (i.e.: can't just plot a graph and mark where the lines cross).
Is there any computational method using Excel I can use that will give me the LOWEST value for the three variables in order for my target values to be under their upper limits?

Is it easier to use the Solver Add-in than to create your own data analysis code? We are planning to design a scheduler for around 12 technicians in our contact center (doing phone support).

We are running Office 2010 part of Office Professional Plus 1010 (corporate install). We have added both the Analysis Toolpak and Analysis Toolpak - VBA to the add-Ins and have the button on the toolbar, however when we click on the button, we don't get the popup window allowing the user to pick the analysis tool they want to use. Have tried this on a number of PCs (we all run the same version) and it doesn't work on any of them.
What we have to do do make this toolpak work?

My company uses financial analysis software to evaluate data on a monthly basis. The software has a report writing package that is similar (but not exactly like) Excel. There are 2 functions of this report writer that I would like to find out if
Assume A1=4 and B1=5 (but the data may vary in the future). In C1, I want an green up arrow if B1>A1. If B1

I have a cell, D5, which is the sum of three other cells, A5 B5 and C5. (all currently empty). Cells A1 through C4 are filled with various numbers.
What I've been trying to do is use solver to say: Make D5 equal 200, do it by manipulating only A5 B5 and C5, and make it subject to the constraint that A5 must equal a value selected from A1:A4, and B5 must equal a value from B1:B4, and C5 ...etc. I have deliberately set it up so that there is only one solution.
I was doing fine until trying to create the constraints. How can I make a constraint that says "this cell" must equal "one of the following cells"? And if I can't do that, is there an alternate method of achieving the same result?

I would like a macro to be able to save 26 tabs within the one document to individual PDFs.Preferably I would like to be able to specify each time exactly which tabs get printed, because often I don't need to print all 26, just the first 10 or so.I would like each PDF to automatically be named with the value in cell E10 of each tab.E10 already has a formula to create its final value. It references cells from other tabs within the same document. Hopefully the fact that this cell has a formula in it won't affect my ability to use the resulting value as a 'save as' reference?I would like it if the PDFs save to the same location as the Excel sheet from which they're generated is located. The location of the excel sheet will change every three months, so I'd prefer not to specify a location with a specific filepath, as it will have changed by the time I run the macro again.
I am using Excel 2010.

I am using MS Office 2010. I want to count---on multiple sheets---the number of times that a given cell is greater than another cell if and only if a third cell is equal to a given value. I want to do this for 4 sets of data on each sheet. I thought I had it figured out with this formula---
=SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$R1"),2*(AND("'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$E1">"'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$F1"))))+SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$S1"),2*(AND("'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$G1">"'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$H1"))))+SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$T1"),2*(AND("'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$I1">"'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$J1"))))+SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(INDIRECT("'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$U1"),2*(AND("'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$K1">"'"&$H$1:$H$43&"'!$L1"))))
but it returns a value of zero each time. Clearly there is an error in the formula.
Here is some background:
-- $H$1:$H$43 is a block of cells that has the names of the sheets in the workbook
-- E1 and F1, G1 and H1, I1 and J1, K1 and L1 are the four groups of cells that I am comparing.
In the entire workbook, I want to add 1 (counting function) only when:
R1=2 AND E1>F1 or
S1=2 AND G1>H1 or
T1=2 AND I1>J1
U1=2 and K1>L1
on each appropriate sheet in the workbook.

I have attached a test workbook excel 2010 (ignore ref# errors, I've cut the workbook down for uploading purposes) What I would like to do is have a 'Button' on my 'information Sheet' which when clicked would clear certain cells. I have searched the forum but can't find a solution, everyone seems to want to delete rows or columns but I just want to clear certain cells. The workbook will have 11 sheets each named 'caravan 1' through to 'caravan 11' The uploaded test workbook only only has 3 sheets.
On 'caravan 1' (which is slightly different to the other 10) I want to clear the content of cells
B4 & B5
C4, C22 & C41
D4 & D5
E4,E5, E22,E23,E41 &E 42
On all other 'Caravan sheets' I want to clear the contents of cells
D4 & D5
E4, E5, E22, E23, E41 & E42
It would be icing on the cake if it could give a warning such as " are you sure you want to clear these cells" but that isn't really necessary. The worksheets will be password protected, but the cells mentioned above will not be. If it proves too difficult to clear all the cells on all the sheets with one click, then perhaps a simpler solution might be to have a button on each sheet instead

I have a Excel 2010 workbook used to rota in a large amount of staff for a call centre, which is split into four teams. Each sheet corresponds to a month of the calendar year eg Jan201, Feb 2014 etc..
What im trying to do is put in a sheet at the front of the workbook that I can select the team, which populates the list of staff in that team and then checking across a specified date range gives the shifts that those respective staff will be working for the set time period (probably be looking at a seven day period and a 1 month period). (This in turn will be printed out to give to the staff members.)

A single macro that I can assign to a button and, when clicked, will compute 3 solver solutions instantly without the solver boxes popping up.
My problems
I am having trouble with the "ValueOf:=" part. In my code below, I am trying to tell it to go to either cell b14, b15, or b16, select that value which will be a number, and use that number as the "ValueOf". The ValueOf is the number I am ultimately trying to achieve using Solver. Range("B##").select doesn't work but I need to somehow select that number in that cell and tell solver to use that number when computing.
If I manually type a number for the "ValueOf:="0.952975095" it will compute it correctly but manually typing this number in each time defeats the purpose of creating this macro. The whole purpose of this macro is so I don't have to manually type in numbers.
Also, recording a macro with multiple solver steps hasn't worked. When the macro is ran with multiple Solver solutions, it only computes one solution... the last one. I think the last data is stored in the Solver application but I'm not sure how to erase it, and start a new solver setup. Anyways, you all would know better than I would.
What's important?
It needs to compute in a certain order. In this order: Cells D14, then D15, Finally D16. That's probably not a big deal though.
My code
Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
'
SolverOk SetCell:="$C$14", MaxMinVal:=3, ValueOf:=Range("B14").Select, ByChange:= _
"$D$14"

I am trying to develope a userform in EXCEL 2010 that has a couple of comboboxes that pulls data from a specific worksheet. The first combobox is initialized with data from column "A" of the worksheet, which I can get to work perfectly. But what I am having trouble with is the second combobox, the data that needs to populate combobox2 is dependent on combobox1 results which are the column headings ("B" thru "E"). What I want to do is search row 2 find the result from combobox1 and populate combobox2 with the data below that result. Below is my data that I am working from.

I'm trying to create a formula that states. If tank 1 maximum capacity is less than 500,000 and the difference in inventory is greater than the absolute value of 10% or 20,000 or if the tanks maximum capacity is between 500,000 and 1,000,000 and the difference in inventory is greater than the absolute value of 20% or 100,000 or if the maximum tank capacity is greater than 1,000,000 or the difference in inventory is greater than the absolute value of 30% or 300,000 then Y OR N.
I figured out the absolute value portion of the formula but I'm not really sure how to combine that with the tank maximum capacity piece.
=IF(OR(ABS(T14)>10%,S14>20000),"Y","N")

I need to create some trend analysis for Vehicle sales. I have attached a file with sample data.
There are few problems i am facing like description has all the vehicle details which are not in any particular order, even if some how i manage to separate these then too many variables are not letting me come to any conclusion for example make, model, mileage, year of registration color of vehicle, auction sold, sale price, cap (bench mark for pricing).
what i need to produce is which auction sells certain vehicles best or which color of certain model sells best.

Below are the weekly closing prices for a stock market index. I'm looking to use conditional formatting to highlight in green "buy" signals and in red "sell" signals.
Buy Signal: If the index rises 4% above any previous low point.
Sell Signal: If the index falls 4% from any previous high point.
DateAdj Close
3/10/201472.16
3/3/201473.55
2/24/201472.83
2/18/201471.92
2/10/201471.43
[code].....
In the above example a Buy Signal is generated on 1/13/2014 because the market closes 4% above the low of 68.24 on 12/9/2013.

I am using excel 2010.
I have a spreadsheet with the following:
Column E is a product. If that product is ordered, any character is entered in that cell
Column F has a due date
Column I has the received date
What I want is to count the number of cells that have any character in column E AND the received date is later than the due date
These two formulas are working fine alone but I cannot get them to work together.
=SUMPRODUCT(--(F:F<I:I))
=SUMPRODUCT(--ISTEXT(E2:E1000))
I have tried all kinds of tweeks to the following to no avail:
=SUMPRODUCT(--(F:F<I:I),--(ISTEXT(E2:E1000)))

I have a sorting question in Excel 2010. Attached is an example workbook with a simplified version of the situation.
I want to sort a table multiple times. I have a table with part numbers and alphanumeric locations (Row, Shelf, Bay, Slot). I have formulas that divide up the location into 4 separate columns to be able to sort.
The first sort I do is by location, which I can easily achieve. The issue I have is sorting AGAIN by part number, while keeping the original sort somewhat intact. If a part number shows up multiple times (i.e. in two DIFFERENT locations), the Nth instance might show somewhere down the list.
Is there a way to sort my table to where you keep it in location order WHILE accounting for duplicates, which I would want grouped together in location order? Please see attached file : SortExample.xlsx

I have a worksheet with
Col A being Name,
B being primary skill,
C secondary skill and
D tertiary skill.
(Sanitised example below)
There are about 15 diferent types of skills ("Skill x, Skill y etc") listed in each of column B,C and D.
I would like to have a filter (or similar) where all names would show if a certain skill is present in either column B, C or D.
For example, a filter that on the below spreadsheet would allow me to view the names of all people who have "Skill x" either as a primary, secondary or tertiary skill.

There is a lot going on, including a check box, which I dont have much experience with and data on two different sheets. I need to sumif the box is checked (true cell) and the item matches the item on another sheet then I need to sum the qty in the adjacent column.
Inventory sheet:
I will have a similar formula in both C and D, but this will be for what I need in D, and I should be able to figure C out from that. What I have to get my starting number is "=SUM('Proc-Pack SUMMARY'!B16-'Proc-Pack SUMMARY'!C16)". Now I need to subtract what is sold from that number to give me a current on hand number.
Type
date
qty packaged
qty bulk
Inventory sold sheet:
The type column is a drop down box with that matches the type column on the inv sheet. The "cyl" and "lbs" columns have check boxes in them. So if C (cyl) is checked and A matches A on the inventory sheet I need to subtract D.
Type
Cyl
Lbs
Qty
Ive tried various variations of this "=SUM('Proc-Pack SUMMARY'!B16-'Proc-Pack SUMMARY'!C16)-sumif(Sold!F:F,"true",Sold!E:E=Inventory!A:A,Sold!H)"
Also is it possible to link so you can only one of the two check boxes in a row? I know the option button does this, but I didnt think that would work with the formula.

I want to set up an automatic sensitivity analysis such as the one shown in example.doc attached, using my model that is attached (inventory model. zip). Going horizontally in the sensitivity analysis, I want to show 2H (3Q and 4Q) Sales Growth (30%, 35, 40,45,50,55,60%) and vertically I want to show 2Q Inventory Growth (50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%) and I want the inside data to return sales/inventory spread ( multiple). Basically it would divide the dollar growth in sales in 2H by the dollar growth in inventory and return a multiple. Is it possible to set this up automatically using the data that I have here?

I'm working on a criteria matrix in Excel 2010 that automatically plots a single member in a Scatter Chart based on the two values. There are 4 suppliers listed in Column D starting in cell D4 thru D7. The "x" value is listed in Column E starting in cell E4 thru E7. The "y" value is listed in Column F starting in cell F4 thru F7.
The scatter chart will plot the points correctly, however, there are two issues: 1) If I try to insert a data label using the "Series Name," or in this case, the supplier's name, it will lists ALL of the suppliers Column D. It will not list the single supplier listed in cell D4. 2) The scatter chart appears with gridlines as a 4x4 matrix with a total of 16 cells. The "x" and "y" axis both start at 0 and go to 4. I can shade the entire chart one color. However, I want to shade some of the cells with darker and lighter shades.

I am working with an Excel 2010 workbook that has two worksheets in it. What I am trying to accomplish is I want the second worksheet to scan the first worksheet for a student's name, and count all of the instances that the student has a score less than a certain threshold (we'll say "5" for this example). I have tried using various combinations of vlookup and countif functions, but have not had much success. I did get it to a point where it worked, but only for the first instance of that student's name; it wouldn't continue searching the first worksheet for any other instances.

I'd like to apply multiple formula to a set of cells on a summary page. My summary page also contains 3 variable dropdowns, and I'd like to display data based on the text selected in those dropdowns (pulling data from 2nd tab "Variables")
The following formula works in the first instance:
=IF(AND(H4="Product Type A1", H6="External", H8="Existing"), Variables!C4, 0)
What I'm struggling to do is add additional formula to the same cell in order to deal with the remaining eventualities of the drop down variables:
Variable 1:
Product Type A1
Product Type A2
Product Type B1
Product Type B2
Variable 2:
Internal
External
Variable 3:
Existing
New
Or am I better using a VLOOKUP or something?

When I update a cell (change A1 from 2 to 3), any cell that references that cell correctly changes its value (B1 = 2*A1). However, the screen will show the new value in B1 (6) over the previous value (4). At first I thought it almost looked like a strike-through, but then I realized the old value and new value were simply stacked in B1.
If I scroll the screen away that cell and go back to it, the correct value will now show without the stacked values. I'm not having this issue in any other program (Open Office), and I don't seem to be having any kind of stacking issue in any other Microsoft program.
