I am trying to automate a simulation with the crystal ball add-in. Specifically the simulation will go through a set of workbooks in a directory - run the simulation (monte carlo x1000) and extra the "trial values" data in another spreadsheet.
I have tried to find crystal ball documentation but I'm not having any luck.
I am asking for help with the program Crystal Ball. Basically what I need is non repeating assumptions. I have a roughly 10 assumptions and they are all uniform discrete distributions between 1 and 10 but I need to make sure that if assumption 1 chooses say number 3 that no other assumptions chooses that number and thus all the numbers are used for each simulation.

I work with up to 200K rows of excel data at a time and just need to pick out a summary of certain columns. I have read (mostly adverts) good things about crystal reports and have been considering giving it a try. It will be a steep learning curve for me, but I was wondering have this group any views on the program before I splash out on books, DVD courses etc.

need to build into the spreadsheet the fact that the variable mix of people is constrained by the fact that at least 4 persons have to use a buggy (which will have 2 people in it) and as the tour progresses and courses become physically demanding a number of people (N) for the last 2 rounds may also ask for the use of buggies as well.develop a spreadsheet to make the 4 Ball team selections.
I would like to embedd a symbol into a cell. I dont want it to be done by using Fonts. By symbol I mean Harvey Balls (Plan, Do, Check, Act) symbol embedded the same as the "and" (&) symbol. I have seen it done once on a spreadsheet but did not get a copy and I would like to recreate it as a way of visually showing the status of an action item.

My question is: Is it possible to export into a workbook that contains macros without overwritting the entire workbook which wipes out the macros?

Has ever created a spreadsheet that used Monte Carlo Simulation?
I've been able to create one that works using the random number generator in conjunction with discrete probability distributions - that's fairly easy, just assign a probability to each discrete value in the distribution and then decide whether or not to select it using a randomly generated number.
However, I want to perform a Monte Carlo simulation that uses a continuous (not discrete) probability distribution, but how I would use the random number generator to then select a value from the distribution based on its probability of occurance.
I am newbie in Excel so i got limited knowledge of programming in excel. I need to perform a dice simulation. I will toss a die repeatedly until I got all six outcomes, then record the numbers of tosses.
I tried to use the function RANDBETWEEN() in to simulate the toss of the die but I don't know how to stop my simulation.
For example, I can generate a sequence like this:
1 3 5 3 4 3 2 1 2 3 6 5 6
but I need to stop at the 11th generation since I achieve all possible outcomes (1,2,3,4,5,6) there.
I have a PDF sheet with info laid out like this:
Code:
Peter Paul Mary
Text Corporation
One two three street
Mars, New York 90000 USA
phone: (111) 555-2222
email: tellmewhy@yahoo.com
There are 10 names and addresses like this on each PDF page and the entire PDF file has 50 pages so to manually copy and paste each bit of info into separate cells on the spreadsheet's appropriate cells "Name, Company, Address, State, Phone, Email" e.t.c is too difficult.
Im setting up a fixed hedging simulation using excel and want to use solver to obtain a maximum profit. I have taken historical stock prices and then predicted future prices using the random walk process. To create the hedge I am using european calls and puts in both long and short positions. The simulation has been set up so that the options are being brought/sold when the historical data ends and then sold/payed when the predicted data finishes.
I am letting solver change the values of the strike of each of the options and also the amount purchased/sold for each of the options too! My constraints are that all the strike prices have to be >= 0, all the amounts of each particular option has to be >= 0 and that profit has to be >= 0. It is worth noting that as well as the values already mentioned, d1 and d2 values are also being calculated on the sheet which are then used to calculate the value of the options being used (using Black-Scholes model), this value is then given a realistic spread value and then 3% is added on as the brokers fee. All of the values mentioned are being taken into consideration when caluclating profit.
how to automate data from excel into word. This vba code takes every sheet from excel and puts it into a word document:
Code:
Sub CopyWorksheetsToWord()
' requires a reference to the Word Object library:
' in the VBE select Tools, References and check the Microsoft Word X.X object library

My problem is that it doesn't style the data into a table, is there any way to do this with the code I have posted? perhaps with a .Style code or something of that sort?

I have two spreadsheets. one contains a master list of computer names. the other contains a list of computer names to be removed from the master list (exception list).
I need to go through the master list and remove any computer names that are on the exception list- for example, if 'computer1' is in the exception list, i have to find and remove 'computer1' from the master list.
The exception list is quite long, and I want to automate this process if possible. not sure how to achieve this.

I have the office 2007 Suite.I have a small business, where i sell online mostly. I'm creating a simple spreadsheet using Excel 2007, a workbook that has simple financial statements.
I'm creating a list of customers along with what they order, what they paid, how they paid, (paypal, cheque) etc, The first column is the invoice number, and each is unique to each customer. I add as i get orders. so my list of invoices has the following fields as column headers
Quote:
Invoice Number Customer Name, Paid by Paypal, Paid by Cheque, Amount, Cusotmer email, Customer address, There are more and i won't list them all. Now each time i send an order, i have to fill in the excel worksheet. I then create the invoice separately in Word 2007 which i print to send to the customer with the order in the mail. The third step is sending an email to the customer upon despatch, using Outlook 2007.
I don't want to use accounting software as that is too complicated for my simple little business. What i do want to do however is combine all three tasks instead of having to open different programs and copying and pasting between them. I'd like to be able to add the data to Excel either using a form (ideally) or direct, then i'd like to be able to click on the "customer email" field to send a confirmation email to the customer, and also to be able to have an automated invoice, either in excel or Word, which draws the information automatically for each invoice, so that i only have to print it.
At the moment i'm doing all 3 tasks separately, when i know they can be automated.
1. I have about 20 columns of data for each invoice, ideally i'd like to be able to enter them from a form as it gets cumbersome going through them all in Excel. The form could be either in Word or Excel, which would be easier?
2. Using the invoice number as the unique field, how can i create an invoice that would draw out the required fields from the Excel data automatically, just by clicking a button? I dont' mind using either Excel or Word, whichever is easier, and i do have Access too, but i don't know if i should use that, or not. I don't need to draw any other data. I only want to print invoices and send confirmation emails.
3. After printing the invoice and posting the order to the customer i sent them an email confirming. Again i have to manually enter or copy and paste data in the email, which i know could be automated, if i create a template, and have some fields that are automaitcally populated using the fields in the date already entered.
These fields ususally include the total paid, currency paid, address, name and how many ordered. All of this could be automated, but i'm not sure how to do it.
I am trying to figure out the calculation steps that Goal Seek is doing behind the scenes so I can create the formula rather than clicking on goal seek whenever I need to make a change. I need to maintain certain weeks of supply every week depending on the sales. Let's say i want to maintain 5 weeks of supply every week, I would like to insert a column for "Suggested To Order' column that would change if weeks of supply goes below 5. In this scenario I would do a Goal Seek, but I want to automate the calculation so I don't have to do this step every week.

I have a workbook that I use for my purchase orders which is pretty simple. Each row is a separate PO, with 10 columns (po#, description, cost, date, etc.).
Is there a way to automatically generate new workbooks that contain all of the info from each individual row? For example: if I have 100 rows on my spreadsheet, which means I've issued 100 POs, then I want to have 100 individual xls workbooks, with the filename for each workbook representing the PO #s (206904.xls, 206905.xls, etc.).
Dont know if this is possible. I have a spreadsheet where cell A1 contains a value which is not fixed and can change daily, the value can increase and decrease. At present at each month-end I manually record the position of cell A1 at month end in cells C1 through C12 repsenting the 12 months of the year.
Example:
A1 @ 31/01/07 = 50 therefore cell C1 = 50
A1 @ 28/02/07 = 45 therefore cell C2 = 45
and so on for 12 months
what I would like to do is automate this process to automatically capture the value at month end into cells "c" and once captured, the figure to remain absolute for that cell/month and to ignore changes in Cell A1 that may subsequently occur.
Could this be done by date formula?
I have a VBA Macro that starts with a user form that gives me two options. I always need the same option selected, so is there a way to automate this?

When I save an Excel workbook, I would like to automate it to also save as a web page in 3 different locations (and automatically close after save as a web page). I would like to be able to automate the save as a web page in the 3 different locations and close these web pages. But my Excel workbook (which I have saved as an .xls) I will close manually.
One location to save the web page would be on my desktop and the other 2 locations would be on different shared drives. Can this be done with ******* event or something?
My goal is to automate an excel userfrom. So from outside of excel, i would look to be able to interact with the controls (simply fill in a textbox for example). I'm thinking this may be possible using windows API (user32) and system hooks, but not entirely sure where to start.
I saw this previous thread, that suggests it may not be possible :

I work in the accounting department. We have an excel workbook for each account with sheets for every month. These sheets contain a template with pre-formulated cells.
For example, the 2010 workbook for account XYZ will have sheets named - Jan 10, Feb 10, Mar 10 and so on.
What we do, is move and copy the previous month sheet, and rename it to the current month.
But each person is responsible for over 100 accounts, so it becomes rather tedious.
So I wrote a code which would automate this process.......
