Solver with Macro - need guidance for a small project

I tried to do small project on solver.

Now I have faced a situation where I need your guidance to go forward.

I attached herewith a Excelsheet with a solver modle & I wish to run it with a macro. I tried sevaral ways but stil I didn't find a solution. I need to load objecctive, variable cells & constraints to a solver modle & slove it just clicking the "solve button".



pls help me to code this in VB or to write a macro.



Thank you.

You should start with an "empty" solver model.

Click on "record macro" and then open up solver. Start filling all the solver values i.e. target cell, cells to change and constraints. When all this is done click solve.

When solver finds a solution click ok and then click "stop recording". Congratulations you now have a macro to run solver! Close solver and right click on your solver button and select "Assign macro"

Before you can use this macro you must set a reference to solver in visual basic.

Before you can use the Solver VBA functions in the Visual Basic Editor, you must establish a reference to the Solver add-in. In the Visual Basic Editor, with a module active, click References on the Tools menu, and then select Solver under Available References. If Solver does not appear under Available References, click Browse, and then open Solver.xlam in the \Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\Library\SOLVER subfolder.

Depending on the "starting point" for solver you may need to change the "´Max time" and number of "Iterations" for solver (click "Options" in the solver "window")

Welcome to the forum.

Based on your last post it seems that you are satisfied with the solution(s) you've received but you haven't marked your thread as SOLVED. I'll do that for you now but please keep in mind for your future threads that Rule #9 requires you to do that yourself. If your problem has not been solved you can use Thread Tools (located above your first post) and choose "Mark this thread as unsolved".
Thanks.
