Problemmmm !!!
Hello
I am trying to solve a trial and error equation with the solver. I have seen the code above and tried to solve my problem. I have reached to the following code: Sub Height() Dim R As Long Dim Target Dim ChgCells For R = 1 To 10 'Row 1 to 10 SolverReset SolverOptions Precision:=0.00001 Target = Cells(R, 6).Address ChgCells = Cells(R, 1).Address SolverOk SetCell:=Target, MaxMinVal:="3", ValueOf:="0", ByChange:=ChgCells SolverSolve True Next R End Sub I have put trial and error equations to cells F1:F10 and i want to set the equation to zero by giving values to the cells A1:A10. I made it work but : 1. When i change the chgcells reference from cells(R,1) to cells(R,2) so that the values to be placed to the second column it returns the value 0 from B1:B10 (i can;t change the column it opnly works for A column. 2.I can't set the restrictions for e.x. -1< (each A value) < 1 3. For negative values it doesn't work On Saturday, May 22, 2010 12:37 PM Janet wrote: I need to calculate a value to minimize a formula - I can do this with Solver. The problem: I have 400 rows for which I have to use the Solver calculation - and I need to update it occasionally. I am trying to figure out how to do this automatically instead of solving each line manually. I suppose I could write a macro, but I do not know how to make the macro repeat itself until the last row and then stop. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Janet On Saturday, May 22, 2010 8:29 PM L.

That probably means that a macro will not run the Solver for me, right? -- Janet "L.

In the Visual Basic Editor, with a module active, click References on the Tools menu, and then select the Solver.xlam check box under Available References. If Solver.xlam does not appear under Available References, click Browse and open Solver.xlam in the \office12\library\Solver subfolder. If you have already installed the Solver add-in in Excel, you will probably see it listed under Available References. To install Solver in Excel 2007: If the Solver button does not appear on the Data tab on the Ribbon, click the Microsoft Office Button, Excel Options, Add-Ins category, and then click the Go button. Then select the Solver Add-In check box, and click OK to install it. Click Yes to confirm that you want to install the Solver add-in. For Excel 2003, I think you need SOLVER.XLA. Sorry, but I only have XL2007 available at the moment. The steps should be similar. Hope this helps, Hutch "Janet" wrote: On Sunday, May 23, 2010 12:42 PM Janet wrote: Thanks!!! That did the trick, but now I do not know how to integrate the macro I just wrote into the program that Howard gave me so it will repeat itself for the relevant rows: Sub ForHunRow() Dim i As Integer Dim j As Range, c As Range i = Range("F1").Value Set j = Range("D1:D400") For Each c In j c.Value = i Next End Sub -- Janet "Tom Hutchins" wrote: On Sunday, May 23, 2010 10:34 PM Tom Hutchins wrote: The For...Next loop he gave you will process every cell in the range D1:D400 (in his example), one at a time. The cell being processed at any given point is referenced by the range variable "c". Inside the loop (between the For Each statement and the Next statement), you will update a value in a SolverOK command (presumably, based on the value in the cell referenced by the range variable "c".) Then you will call SolverSolve to actually run Solver. If you need to store the result somewhere, do it, then let the loop continue to the next cell. Your Solver commands might look something like this: SolverOk SetCell:="$E$1", MaxMinVal:=0, _ ValueOf:=c.Value, ByChange:="$D$1:$D$400" SolverSolve In my example above you are changing the ValueOf argument. Depending what you want to do you might change a different argument. Look at what you are changing when you run Solver manually for this process, andyou will see which argument you need to change programatically.

Here, I have a function in D1, and the changing cells are in A1:C1. The loop goes from Row 1 to 10. Hopefully, you can adjust it to your situation. Not quite what I use, but it should give you some ideas. In a loop, I find it best to just Reset everything.
