    Question Obtain Solver (in between) optimized variables when solver is called in a loop multiple ti

    Hi There,

    This is my first post so please forgive my ignorance. I read the forum rules and think I am not infringing them.

    I have a problem related to optimization of a number of variables. I am calling the solver in a loop and I wrote a criterium function which resides in the Solver SetCell of the worksheet. The code works fine and the solver dumps all optimized variables once the loop is completed and the macro code ended. So far so good. However I would like to get better results by using the optimized variables from one step as starting values to calculate the optimized variables in the next step in the loop. I am not able to force solver to give the optimized variables in the completed step of the loop.

    Conceptually the code looks like:

    I really tried to find this on the Internet but did not succeed.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Thank you
    Roel

    '==> Here I would like to obtain the optimized values from step i as starting values for step i+1
    '==> So I would write them in the "By Changing Variable Cells" for the next i
    It should be as simple as reading the values from the old by changing cells/range using the Range(...).Value property, then writing those values to the new cells/range using the same property. A statement like newrange.Value=oldrange.Value would work. If you are unfamiliar with the Range object and the .Value property, you might start here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/off....Range(object)

    Thanks Mr Shorty,

    Sorry for the late response!
    It worked! I did not know that it was possible to read the contents of a cell although the Solver did not (at least visually) dumped the values of the optimized parameters in the cell. Appearantly a memory representation of the cell is called if you store in the range object, in stead of the value displayed in the cell. But that is stuff for the experts I guess.

    Cheers!
