Routine a number of times using the same model, it is convenient to create a If you need to solve the same system of equations or run an optimization For optimization problems, this means that the solution may be only a local optimum. The solution may depend upon the starting values. This example has demonstrated a very important point having to do with the Excel solver and optimization in general.
