I was wondering if the solver was the only way to solve implicit equations. I am looking for something that will automatically solve an implicit equation after the appropriate information is entered into the referenced cells.....
Above is the polynomial equation of a trend line as shown on my chart, I have extracted the numbers into separate cells using LINEST, so now I have in cells A20 to E20 the numbers 1.083333333, -7.333333, 16.416667, -6.16667 and 4 respectively.With a "y" value of 25 how do I go about solving for a value of "x".
I've been stubbornly struggling with this on and off for a couple of weeks now and I'm not getting any closer to working it out and the websites I've found explaining the procedure all seem to go over my head by the time I get into the fourth or fifth paragraph.
I don't actually own Excel as yet - but I'm wondering if someone could tell me whether Excel is capable of solving what I'm told are 'polynomial equations'. An example of the sort of equation I hope to solve is: d/(1.18 + d) + d/(1.86 + d) + d/(9 + d) + d/(8.8 + d) = 2 d=? {I happen to know d = 3.65(approx) in this example btw}
but I get an internal memory error. However, if I use the solver dialog box directly from excel and not through a macro and keep the 'Set Target Cell' as empty, I get the right solution.
I'm trying to find definitions/commands to make excel find the best combinations of several defined scopes and restrictions to make an output number as high as possible.
This is by using a combination of several different equations, maybe excel has a magic trick for all the variables and formulas.
I am trying to analytically solve an equation to establish a physical value. Unfortunately, it's difficult to do the algebra, so it needs to be done this way.
I have an experimental value for this in "J2", so what I want to do is change F2 to that "I2" is equal to "J2"
Is it possible to get excel to match these values - I have about 200 different cells of this?
The formula is in cell "I2" =B2*((1-(C2/D2)*((F2/G2)^1.2))^-1.5125)
I am about to take a corporate finance course. The textbook uses a ton of basic (complex to me) equations to calculate interest rates, bond premiums, dividend reinvestment scenarios, etc.
I know that Excel has a bunch of specific functions to calculate interest, NPV, etc. but I am NOT interested in using those because I would like to have Excel "do the math" once I enter the formulas (or parts of formulas) correctly.
how to enter the equations below into Excel without using built-in formulas (I'm also not looking to use the Equation editor because I actually to calculate the answers, not just have the visual look/feel of the equation).
1R2 = [(1 + .0194)(1 + .03)]1/2 - 1
If done correctly, 1R2 in the above should equal 2.47%. I am totally fine doing parts of this in separate cells if necessary.
And something more complicated like the below. I wrote out the word "delta" because I don't know how to create the "triangle" symbol for delta on this forum post. According to the text, for securities with semiannual receipt (compounding) of interest, it is represented as:
-D = (delta P / P) / ((delta r sub b) / (1 + (r sub b)/2)))
Or in English, I believe that can be expressed as "negative D equals the quotient of delta P divided by P (in the numerator) divided by the following: delta r sub b divided by the quantity 1 plus r sub b divided by 2"
And finally
V sub b = 1000 / [1 + (.10/2)]2(4) + 50 times the following compound bracketed expression [1 - (1 / [1 + (.10/2)]2(4)] divided by (.10/2)]
I need to automate the attached as per the following (by not recording macro unfortunately).
Sheet one has a dump of data. First, I need to change the data format from yyyymmdd to dd/mm/yyyy. Then I need to filter for region EU and only copy the filtered data from columns A, C-D, F and the difference from columns I-J to Sheet 2. Then in Sheet 2, I need another column to calculate the difference per unit.
Any way to exclude colored cells from addition in a column. I will attach a simple example document.
I am building a spreadsheet to keep track of my monthly spending, and debt balance. I keep track of the total amount of bills I pay each month. As I pay them, their respective line is highlighted green in the spreadsheet. I would like to create a macro/formula which would sum the remaining cells in the column which are not highlighted to display the remaining monies which need to be paid out. I'm not sure if this matters but I am using office 2010.
It works perfectly, except that due to the nature of the equation, if there are no values entered for any sound levels the answer will be 9. Is there any way to check to see if any values are present? I've been looking into IF functions and I've tried (unsuccessfully):
