    solver doesn't find all solutions

    Hi all!

    If one runs excel solver on a quadratic equation with two cells as the arguments, then the solver will find one solution (one cell) but not the another one (2nd cell). The question is: how to force him to look for the all solution ??

    Why do you need Solver for a quadratic? Solve it in closed form.

    EDIT: Never mind -- I see you've double posted here, and posted it many other places.

    Shg, This question is unique and not posted anywhere. The question about VBA solution to this problem is posted as another question on 3 forums and having cross links inside itself.

    Trust me, you don't need Solver for a quadratic (which is the question you asked). Ask your favorite high-school freshman.
