Excel Solver Question

Copper Contributor

Hi Everyone, this question pertains specifically to the built in solver function.

 

I have built a linear program that, with one set of hard-coded inputs, yields an optimal answer and satisfied linearity. When I put in different inputs however, without changing the constraints or formulas, I do not meet the linearity requirements of the model. I've been combing through the model but have been unable to figure out what could be causing this.

To paraphrase Uncle Ben's advice to Spider-Man:  "With great details come great answers".
