Solver With Code-Generated Model

Dec 14, 2009

Suppose that you have some data points and you want to fit a straight line to them. You write the line's equation in the cells ajacent to your data points, make the square of each difference, sum up all the squares and you have your objective function. Of course your line equation depends on two parameters, that you enter in two cells. Then you run the Excel Solver, enter your objective function as target cell to minimize, enter the range containing your parameters, set your constraints and off you go.
So far so good.

And now suppose that in order to generate your model data it is not enough to write a straight line equation in some cells, but rather to run a complete reactor model (contained in a macro). How do I couple that model-generating macro with the Excel Solver? Now, I actually found a solution. I wrote a Worksheet_change macro in the sheet containing the model parameters, which calls the model-generating code each time the parameters are chenged by the Excel Solver. This has worked fine for a simple example as the straight line one.

Now one of the two:.....

Using VBA In Patch Model To Change VBA In User Model

Jan 11, 2007

I have some Excel models out in the field with some old VBA code that is now causing problems. I regularly develop 'patch' models to make updates or repairs to user models, but need the VBA code syntax to get into a Worksheet module and change one line of VBA code.

The worksheet is named 'Forecast' and I need to change line 5 of my VBA code.

The vast majority of my users are on Excel 2000. I remember the security issues with newer Excel versions and can walk then through that, but I forgot the code syntax I need to get the job done.

Too Many Emails Generated By Code

Jul 11, 2006

I have the following code that will look through an individual worksheet, if the value in column D is equal to 5 and the value in cells E6:L1000 is "a" then it should generate an email. The problem I am having is that it generates 8 emails, one for each column. What did I do wrong in the code? It should only generate one email for the cell which has the "a"

Sub Test()
Dim OutApp As Outlook.Application
Dim OutMail As Outlook.MailItem
Dim cell As Range
Dim wsWH As Worksheet
Dim lngMax As Long
Dim intFiveDays As Integer
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
On Error Goto cleanup
Set wsWH = Worksheets("WH")
lngMax = wsWH.Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
For intFiveDays = 6 To lngMax...................

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?

Sub Macrosolver()

Dim iteration As Long
Dim i As Integer
i = 8 'start in row 8 at first dataset

Set Solver Reference In Code

Nov 23, 2006

my excel sheet runs through different cases (i=1 till i=20). For each case I need to use the solver. Since the whole programm works with references like this cells(10 + i, columnindex).value I tried this with the solver, too. e.g.: SolverOk SetCell:=Cells(20 + i, 46), ValueOf:="0.000001", ByChange:=Cells(20 + i, 47)

But it gives me not a right result as it would give me with a reference like
SolverOk SetCell:="$AT$21", ValueOf:="0.000001", ByChange:="$AU$21"
I tried difference referencing things with different types of brackets, wih range, etc. but I could not figure it out hwo it might works.

Multiple Solver Constraints In Solver

Sep 10, 2006

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?

Solver Solver To Calculate Through VBA

Jan 12, 2007

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.

Solver- When Solver "changes Cells"

Jan 21, 2009

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?

Model For Payment Schedule

Aug 20, 2013

I'm currently developing a model for a payment schedule. For example, lets say a customer purchases an item from a store, but the store receives that payment in the following month. I'm looking to develop a dynamic model so that if I change the assumption from 1 month to another term (2,3,4+ months etc.) the model will adjust accordingly.

I've started with a formula

=IF(MONTH(H3)-MONTH(G3)=B14,G11*B13)

But of course this will not work once the term is set to larger than 1 month. With B14 representing 1 month, and G11*B13 being payment information (price * quantity).

Change Model To Category?

Apr 13, 2014

1. In column A, I have models, in column B, I want to place either a "printer" if the model begins with Phaser or Laser, and if it begins with WorkCentre make it MFD. Also, if the Phaser has MFP on the end, make this an "MFD" and If Color 560 or Docucolor, make this "Out of Scope". How do I read the first part of the string in column A to do this, or do I need to make a second column with this Phaser and WorkCentre broken out?

I have this code attached, but only works if I have the word Phaser or WorkCentre.

Collect Model Outputs Into Summary Table?

I have a model where you can toggle 3 different inputs across two variables. The final output number of the model will vary accordingly.

I would like to create a 3X3 table with the final output for each combination of variables. Is there a way of doing this using formulas or would I need a macro?

Predictive Model - Find First Expiration Date

Sep 14, 2012

I am charged with building a predictive model that can find items in a hospital inventory that will expire before they are used. The idea is simple: if I use an item every week, this item has an expiration date of 50 weeks from now, and I have 60 on the shelf, then I will likely expire 10 of the items.

The complexity is that there are multiple expiration dates. So, I want be able to look down a list of 3000 items, find the multiple entries of expiration dates, and isolate them based on criteria (select, for example, the first chronologically expiration date).

Analysis Of Adding Extra Row To A Model With Lot Of Macros

Apr 27, 2014

I have recently started working on a model built by some one else and I need to add a extra row to model. The Model has lot of macros on every page. So i need to know how adding an extra row is going to affect the macros.

I understand the main problem would be that the references in the macro wont get updated which might lead the macro to malfunction.

Whats the best way to analyze which macros are getting effected.

Multiple Data Sheets In One Macro Model

Feb 28, 2007

I have: + three raw data sheets (needed as 3 lots of data with 25K records in each). + I also have a model that I want to take each record from each sheet, populates some cells in a seperate calculation sheet and then gets a result - which it adds to a total (array).Finally I have + a clever macro that shows me what % of the way through I am (i.e. displays the number of record processed out of the 75K (3*25K) total)

While I have got the model to work - there is some untidy code used where I start my clever % macro for x = 1 to 75K then repeat the same instructions for running the model for each section i.e. sheet 1 : 1 to 25000, then the same instructions for sheet 2, 1 to 25000 etc etc. and then end it I want to know if there is any clever coding that will let me go from one sheet to another when there is an empty cell struck on the active sheet?

Sensitivity Table For Given Return In Derivatives Model

Oct 15, 2007

I've inherited the following code, which uses solver to create a sensitivity table for a given return in a derivatives model:

Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'Yield Analysis
'Application. ScreenUpdating = False
x = Range("Correlation")
v = Range("SwapCur")
w = Range("DebtLTV")
Range("ValYLD").Value = 0.005
For i = 1 To 5
For j = 1 To 7
Range("ValYLD").Value = 0.005
Range("DebtLTV") = 0
a = Range("IRRung")
b = Sheets("Cashflow").Cells(35 + j, 4)
c = Range("SwapFX")
d = Sheets("Cashflow").Cells(35, 4 + i).................

It seems that the code does not cope well when negative numbers are used as inputs, as the results it gives are unexpected and incorrect. I have fiddled with various elements but to no avail. All inputs are percentages. i= 1to 5 are always positive, j 1-7 percentages, centred around "SwapFX". It is these inputs, along with "swapcur" which are now negative, and previously have not been.

Model Stock Price Movements In A Column

Aug 1, 2008

I have a spreadsheet that tries to model a possible stock price movement in a column. So in column A I have all dates starting from today and in Column B a specific stock's possible stock price movemens onver the next 2 years.

So dates start at A3 and stock prices start at B3 and end at A734 and B734.

This gives me ONE possible stock movement and to get the most accurate movement, I will need to model this 20,000 times.

Therefore, I want to create a loop macro that repeat this motion 20,000 times in the columns next to A and B. So which loop effect would I need to use and how would the code look like ? This is honestly my first time attempting to use a loop macro

Pricing Model Formula Based On Units Produced

Nov 27, 2013

We are trying to work out a pricing model based on how many units we will produce. In production the price per unit will be really high when you produce a low quanity, and the price per unit will be lower with the more units you produce (but never reach zero). What we are trying to accomplish is to create a formula to build a pricing structure that accounts for this curve without having to price every possible scenario.

For example, if we have the following data where for 1 unit we charge $3 per unit to produce, for 5 units we charge $2 per units to produce, etc...:

1 units @ $3 per unit
5 units @ $2 per unit
10 units @ $1 per unit

What I need to figure out is how much it would cost per unit if we were to produce 3 units. I'm guessing it would be somewhere around the $2.40 mark give or take. Or say 8 units, would be something like $1.50 per unit.

Is there a formula that can calculate this? I've tried thinking of it as a moving average, or prorating the pricing.
