    Solver Constraint problem - "Greater than" (not equal to)

    Hi - I am using Excel solver for estimating parameters in a model, and I need to set constraints so that data estimated by solver for one column IS GREATER than data estimated in a second column. All the drop-down menu in the constraints section of solver shows is "greater than or equal to".

    Is there any way to specify a constraint to just "greater than"?

    Thanks in advance!

    Jim.

    It appears it did, and this may be OBE ...

    You could use a dummy cell set to 1.000000000001 times one of the variables, and require that the second variable the >= the dummy.
