Listing A Company For Invoicing On A New Worksheet
Jan 7, 2007for instance "Dave's electric" and only those charges that are between Jan 1st and Jan 5th on a new worksheet. Then do the same for "Girlz Clothing". I know some VBA so I would be willing to go that way too....

Apr 30, 2014I am trying to develop an invoicing system for my company. Most of our customers will have their invoices formatted a certain way which has been relatively easy to solve, however one customer needs to have their invoices formatted in a special way.I have a sheet that pulls in a list formatted like this:
Date product order number kilos
07/4/14 48% cream 445600 1000
07/4/14 PHM 445600 1500
07/4/14 PHM 445600 1000
07/4/14 PHM 445600 2000
10/4/14 48% cream 445800 500
What I need it to display is the following:
Date Product order number kilos
07/4/14 48% cream 445600 1000
10/4/14 48% cream 445800 500
07/4/14 PHM 445600 4500
So you can see it is grouping the invoice by both product type and order number but grouping by product.
Multiple Solver Constraints In Solver
Sep 10, 2006I 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?
Solver Solver To Calculate Through VBA
Jan 12, 2007I have to use use the solver to calculate something (a mean-variance framework).
I am using the solver to minimize a cartain cell (variance) by making two cells equal through (expected return) by varying 10 cells( weights of assets), but I have to repeat this for 500+ times (for different expected returns).
Someone told me that I could best use some sort of loop through VBA. But I don't have a clue how that works.
Solver- When Solver "changes Cells"
Jan 21, 2009I want to use solver program. But when solver "changes cells" i want it to trigger my pivot tables in the workbook. So i added the code to my worksheet:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
ThisWorkbook.RefreshAll
End Sub
So when a change occurs, all my pivot tables will get refreshed and my data will change. Is solver able to trigger this event while solving an optimization problem?
Run Solver With VBA
Feb 14, 2008I am trying to drive Solver in Excel 2000 with a Visual Basic (version given as 9969) macro. SolverReset is observed, and SolverAdd puts the constraints in. But the SolverOK statement does nothing, so the SetCell and the ByChange windows stay empty.
SolverSolve is trying to do something, because the spreadsheet cell that should receive the return code from Solver gets an error value #VALUE! (The macro then stops, unable to process this entry.)
Solver is checked off ok in the References list in V.Basic.
The same macro, same spreadsheet, in the same Excel file, works fine on the other computer in my office with what I am told is a more recent version of Excel; i.e. this doesn't look like a coding error.
Sudoku Using Solver Add-In
Jun 2, 2009I wanted to see if I could use the solver to Solve Sudoku puzzles. I created the attached workbook. First it colors the numbers that are put in manually, which would be the starting puzzle. I have a generic one put in now. Then it finds which cells that are allowed to change. Then it is supposed to solve. It doesn't work. Run the Sheet1.SolvePuzzle Macro to see it not work. Is solver just not up to the task, or am I missing something?

Solver Root
Nov 17, 2008I created a trendline and associated equation for some data plotted against Time on the x-axis displayed in MM/DD/YY format. The date for the data ranges from 3/27/06 thru 11/10/08.
The trendline equation is
F(x)=-6E-13x^5+1E-07x^4-.0087*x^3+329.1*x^2-6E+06*x+5E+10
The data actually crosses the y=0 line around 11/5/07, which is the data root
When I use Goal Seek, I got a zero root solution of 28154.98. When I convert this to the date format, it converts to a date in 1981 which is not correct. I tried a range of initial guesses but they all converge to the same number.
VB - Looping Over Solver
Jan 14, 2009I am using solver to solve an optimisation problem I have. I need to apply a new solver to every populated row of my sheet. My solver code is as follows:
Sub solverloop()
SolverOk SetCell:="$Z$2", MaxMinVal:=3, ValueOf:="0", ByChange:="$N$2:$O$2"
SolverSolve
End Sub
The code above applies the solver to row 2. My sheet has roughly 500 populated rows. I need to write a macro to loop solver over each row, accept the solution provided by solver, then move to the next row. i would also like to close the loop automatically when the last populated row is reached.

Excercise:
Eve Blue is the manager of Southland Furniture store and she is planning a New Years Day sale. The store has only 75 square feet of space available to display and stock this merchandise. During the sale each folding table costs $5, retails for $11 and takes up two square feet of space. Each chair costs $4, retails for $9 and takes up one square foot of space. You must order at least one chair and one table and, of course, they must be whole units. The maximum amount allocated for purchasing the tables and chairs for the sale is $280. Eve cannot sell more than 40 chairs but the demand for tables is unlimited. Eve asked you to help her determine how many tables and chairs she should purchase in order to make the most profit.

Solver Does Not Function
Mar 23, 2007At work, we have a spreadsheet that uses SOLVER.XLA in a macro. It works fine in Excel '97 but in Excel 2003 it simply does nothing. The code is
s = Application.LibraryPath & "solversolver.XLA"
On Error Resume Next
Workbooks.Open filename:=s
Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro String:="SOLVER.XLA!SOLVER.RESET()"
Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro String:="SOLVER.XLA!SOLVER.OK( PLOT!R46C4,2,0,(PLOT!R13C12:R14C12))"
Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro String:="SOLVER.XLA!SOLVER.OPTIONS(100,100,0.000001,FALSE,FALSE,2,1,1,0.05,TRUE)"

Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro String:="SOLVER.XLA!SOLVER.SOLVE()"
ActiveSheet. Protect DrawingObjects:=False, Contents:=True, Scenarios _

It gives no error message, it simply does not do the calculations. (I took out the error handling line to make sure that there really were no errors being generated!)

Asset 2 (x2): 12 data points
Asset 3 (x3): 12 data points
Asset 4 (x4): 12 data points

This is leading to calculations down the line.
Solver Automation VBA Code
Dec 31, 2008 I've done quite a bit of research in the past week or so on the topic of solver automation using loops; while there are a few good posts scattered around, i haven't quite found the solution to my problem.
i'm trying to run the solver on a few like-sized datasets contained in one worksheet. i've set up a loop to properly reference the 4 datasets. the solver constraints are in one column on the same worksheet.
the macro runs with no errors, but it doesn't "solve." the parameter cells retain their original values.
i should mention that my macro ran perfectly before i consolidated the 4 separate solver calls into one loop. I got tired of having to type 4 different constraint changes in the code as i was optimizing the solver.
on a similar topic, does anyone know how to call a variable in the FormulaText declaration? If i wanted to step through a defined array of constraints, say [1,2,3], how do i get FormulaText:= variable to work?
