    maximum / minimum in solver

    Hi,
    Can maximum/ minimum option can be used for more than one equations? I have two objective for my optimization.
    If I add constraint, I don't know that my objective should be more than 5 or 10 or lower than 5 or ten.
    Do you have any idea about this?
    Thank you

    Re: maximum / minimum in solver

    Basically excel solver is "one goal" oriented.

    But you can try to combine your objectives. The way to combine can be different. Basically, multiplication is a good starting point - if you are looking for max of 2 values then you can multiply them and look for the maximum of the product
    for instance for
    500 0
    450 1
    400 2
    350 3
    300 4
    250 5
    200 6
    150 7
    100 8
    50 9
    0 10

    max value for both will be for pair
    250 5
    Best Regards,

    Kaper

    divide instead of multipluing (provided both values are non-zero and positive)
