Solver is a Microsoft Excel add-in program you can use for what-if analysis. Use Solver to
find an optimal (maximum or minimum) value for a formula in one cell — called the objective
cell — subject to constraints, or limits, on the values of other formula cells on a worksheet

Solver
Excel’s Solver tool can do complex statistical modelling.
There are many ways to benefit from it when you want to manipulate multiple cells to get a
certain result.
It can be used when solving more complex problems which are beyond the scope of the Goal
Seek and What-if tool.

How to Activate solver in Excel ?


It can also easily solve for the simpler problems that we might face at work.

For example:

 How can we maximize our profit by slightly altering price and costs AND take
into account specific constraints for costs and price; such that price cannot go
above a certain level and costs cannot go below a certain point. Or:
 How can we distribute the remaining budget dollars among our different
projects based on certain constraints?

Goal Seek is restricted to changing only one input variable.

If you have multiple input variables along with some situational constraints as shown
below, the Solver function will come in handy.
 Units sold: Input variable.
 Price per unit: Input variable.
 Revenue: Calculated field.

Cell B5 = B3*B4

 Cost per unit: A fixed number indicating how much each unit costs.
 Costs: Total cost. This is derived by multiplying the number of units by the
cost per unit.

Cell B9 = B3*B8

 Income: Calculated field. This net income is obtained by subtracting the Cost
from the Revenue.

Cell B11 = B5-B9


For this scenario, there is a target income of 2,000 and you need to find out how
many units need to be sold and the corresponding unit price. It also has the
following restrictions:

 Units sold needs to be a whole number


 Price per unit should be between 3 and 4.
 To use the Solver tool to find the values we need:
