1. Solver Table Excel

For example, let's analyze the sales of three products. Column B consist of the number of units ofeach product, column C shows the profit per unit for each product, and column D containsformulas that calculate the profit for each product:

To enable Solver, go to FILE Options Add-Ins. Then click Solver and press Go Check off all of the boxes and press OK. Now, Solver should be under the DATA tab, in the Analyze group. Solving a Single Equation For this example, we are going to solve the sample problem mentioned above of x2+3x-22=5. This wikiHow teaches you how to use the Power Query feature in Excel 2016 on a Windows and Mac computer. Power Query is an Excel function that allows you to import data from a variety of sources (Excel tables, CSV files, online database, etc.), and easily reconfigure the data into a pivot table in a spreadsheet.

To maximize total profit, Company has some constraints:

• The combined production capacity is 200 total units per day.
• The company needs 50 units of Product A to fill an existing order.
• The company needs 40 units of Product B to fill an anticipated order.
• Because the market for Product C is relatively limited, the company doesn't want toproduce more than 40 units of this product.

To solve this task, do the following:

1. Set up the worksheet with values and formulas. Make sure that youformat cells logically; for example, if you cannot produce partial units of your products, format thosecells to contain numbers with no decimal values.

2. On the Data tab, in the Analysis group, clickSolver... (Solver is an add-in if you can't find it, see How to manage Add-Ins):

3. In the Solver Parameters dialog box:

• Specify the target cell in the Set Objective field. In this example, the target cell isD6 - the cell that calculates the total profit for three products.
• Because the objective is to maximize this cell, click the Max option.
• Specify changing cells in the By Changing Variable Cells box. In this example, changing cellsare in the range B3:B5.
• Specify the constraints which can be added one at a time and appear in the box labeled Subject tothe Constraints:

  To add a constraint, click the Add button. Excel displays the AddConstraint dialog box:

  This dialog box has three parts: a Cell Reference, an operator, and a Constraintvalue.

  To set the first constraint (that the total production capacity is 200 units) enterB6 as the Cell Reference, choose equal (=) from the drop-down list ofoperators, and enter 200 as the Constraint value.

  Add other constraints:

4. Change the Solver options, if necessary.

5. Click the Solve button to start the solution process. Excelsoon announces that it has found a solution and open the Solver Results dialog box:

• Replace the original changing cell values with the values that Solver found.
• Restore the original changing cell values.
• Create any or all three reports that describe what Solver did (press Shift to selectmultiple reports from this list). Excel creates each report on a new worksheet, with an appropriatename.

  To see reports, check the Outline Reports checkbox.

• Click the Save Scenario button to save the solution as a scenario, so that the ScenarioManager can use it.
