Excel Solver and Negative Numbers
- Thread starter davidmo
- Start date
The non-negative option is useful when you are solving problems where it is phyically impossible to have negative quantities. For example: you can have 0, 1, 2, etc. wives (at various times), but it is impossible to have -1 wife.
Solver can definitely find negative solutions to problems.
If you want to learn more about Solver, its developer Frontline Systems maintains a good web site at Check out the tutorial section in particular.
