    EXCEL SOLVER tool

    Hi Guys,
    I wonder if you can help me please

    I am new using EXCEL SOLVER tool and I stuck getting the results I am looking for

    I have attached a file so that it is easier to explain

    Basically I need to get a result of 200 for each within the range of C30:W30 by changing variable cells C17:W17. I am not sure why but it does not work - is it because I have negative values within the range C18:W25??

    Any help would be great!

    Thanks

    Vito

    In this case, I would just use Goal Seek:

    Data > What If Analysis > Goal Seek:
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    and repeat for each column.

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Solver has at least one advantage compared to GoaloSeek, where GoalSeek solves one cell at a time solver can adjust all cells in one go.

    A solver setup as shown in upload will work and in this case you don't need to specify an object cell.
