How can excel find the least amount of inputs needed to produce a specified amount of outputs? To boil it down to the basics:
Need=
100 units of x
200 units of y
From a combination of=
item A that yields 25 units of x and 5 units of y
item B that yields 10 units of x and 15 units of y
Objective = minimize the number of items A & B used (i.e. minimum of (item A)*(item B))
Any ideas?
Also, I'd like to expand the list of needs and items in the future, but tyring to keep it simple for now.
