).Īdd a button to the worksheet, using a button from the Forms toolbar.
Stop the macro recorder (Tools > Macro > Stop Recording. ).Ĭlear any existing solver settings (Press the Reset All button).Ĭhoose the target cell, design variables, and constraints and press the Open the solver dialog box (Tools > Solver. Start the macro recorder (Tools > Macro > Record New Macro. Let's use the problem from Example 2 above. Is to first record all the steps used to set up and run the solver.
Macro that can be run by pressing a single button. Routine a number of times using the same model, it is convenient to create a If you need to solve the same system of equations or run an optimization For optimization problems, this means that the solution may be only a local optimum.
The solution may depend upon the starting values. This example has demonstrated a very important point having to do with the Excel solver and optimization in general. Figure 4: Mechanism showing two possible configurations.
