More about Solver
Before presenting more complex examples, this section discusses the Solver Options dialog box. From this
dialog box, you control many aspects of the solution process, as well as load and save model specifications
in a worksheet range.
It’s not unusual for Solver to report that it can’t find a solution, even when you know that one should exist.
Often, you can change one or more of the Solver options and try again. When you choose the Options button
in the Solver Parameters dialog box, Excel displays the Solver Options dialog box, shown in Figure 37.8.
