I 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 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.
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 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.
if the code is 110 add together all amounts attached to that code and sum them in a new cell. Perfect. Now however there is an added level of complexity and i need to figure out how to nest an IF statement into a =sumif() function so that code amounts are summed into their root code, for example the root code of 110, 120, 130 is 100.
So basically i want a function that will sum the specific code (110) and then sum together that amount under the root code (100). Here is an example. The amounts for the lower level codes have been summed but i need the high level codes to be summed together.
is it possible to type a document name in a cell,then run a code that searches a root dir and sub folders, find the existing document and open it?? for example
I have to run a daily report from winxp or win2k and need to change the host files a few times for access.
I tried to use %systemroot% in the file path, but for some reason vba doesn't like it.
Here's the snippet I'm using for copying over the host file based on user choice: (the thing works if I change to the actual system root path (C: etc...)
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Select Case ComboBox1 Case "- Choose -" MsgBox ("This is not a choice") Case "BTR"
I have a formula and in it is a square root, i want the formula inside the square root always to be positive so i get a result.
Example:
(A1) -1 (A2) 0 (A3) -2
(C1) =(A1)^0.25 (C2) =(A2)^0.25 (C3) =(A3)^0.25
Now i only get a result from the last two, but i want to use the modulus function so that instead of a maths error i get 1 for the first one, how do i do this?
I have run into a problem in a project where I know what the folder root of the file I would like to import into excel is, but I do not know the file name.
I would like to open a dialogue open where I can select the file I wish to import from the known root supplied and retain the file name as a string.
All solution I have read assume the full file root is know or file name is known but root is unknown
I 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?
I need a formula to tell me whether a number is a square number, or I can do it so to see if the square root of a number is an interger. So far Iv been doing
A1 = γ2 A2 = AND(RIGHT(A1,1)=INT(A1))
True or false outcome is fine, and it has been working fine on some examples, but the problem comes when I have γ49, as it is 2 digits long. I've seen a formula similar to find the root symbol, and look at all the numbers upto this point (maybe FIND).
I 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.
I 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?
I recorded a macro using 'Solver'. When I try to run it, I get a message"Complie Error: Sub or Function not defined". Can anyone help me?
Heres the Sub Macro1() SolverOk SetCell:="$R$4", MaxMinVal:=3, ValueOf:="4275", ByChange:="$S$4" SolverSolve End Sub
I also tried this Sub SolverMacro() ' Example Solver VBA Macro SolverReset SolverOk SetCell:="$R$4", MaxMinVal:=3, ValueOf:="4275", ByChange:="$S$4" SolverSolve userFinish:=True End Sub
I need to solve this using solver. I have an idea, but I'm not sure what to in regards to my objective function, and how to properly set up my constraints. I know I need to use sumproduct, but I'm not sure in what way. I'm using Excel 2007, here is the problem:
The Sweet Smell Fertilizer Company Markets bags of Manure is Combination of compost and Sewage Wastes. Each pound of Compost costs sweet smell $0.05 and has a fertilizer rating of 2 units. Each pound of sewage costs $0.004 and has a fertilizer rating of unit. To provide good quality fertilizer, each bag should contain at least 35 pounds of compost, not more than 40 pounds of sewage, and have total fertilizer rating of at least 100 units. Determine the lowest-cost blend of compose and sewage in each bag.
I am using solver to solve an optimisation problem I have. I need to apply a new solver to every populated row of my sheet. My solver code is as follows:
Sub solverloop() SolverOk SetCell:="$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.
I'm trying to run a macro which will allow me to run solver and keep the solution.. I have managed to get the macro to work. However, does anyone knows how I can ensure that solver's solution can be automatically saved without prompting the user whether to save the solution?
I am having problems with this excercise on my worksheet in my business computing class. I was wondering if someone could guide me through on how to use the solver feature.
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.
Layout: (I marked in x's where I need to solve.)

At 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.OK(PLOT!R46C4,2,0,(PLOT!R13C12:R14C12))" Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro String:="SOLVER.XLA!SOLVER.SOLVE()" ActiveSheet. Protect DrawingObjects:=False, Contents:=True, Scenarios _ :=True, password:="sigma"
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!)
I have the following dataset and was wondering how I can run a constrained regression in Excel with the constraint being that the total allocation of assets is 100%:
Total return (y): 12 data points Asset 1 (x1): 12 data points Asset 2 (x2): 12 data points Asset 3 (x3): 12 data points Asset 4 (x4): 12 data points Asset 5 (x5): 12 data points Asset 6 (x6): 12 data points
[Attached is a spreadsheet with the actual dataset]
I know the regression equation I need is R = b1X1 + b2X2 + .+ (1 - b1 - b2 - .- b5 )X6 + e
When I run a group of macros for some reason after the marcro runs and I hit F2 excel crashes.
I have figured out that it is one of the marcros that makes the excel crash. It is only when I run the solver application. The code is below. Any thoughts why hitting F2 after running this marcro would crash the machine?
