#ACTIVATE SOLVER IN EXCEL 2016 UPDATE#
Windows July 2016 Office Security Update Microsoft updated the security requirements for add-ins in July 2016. However, our user Alexander reported in April 2019 that “OpenSolver works for MacOS HighSierra with the latest Excel update 16.24, but if you upgrade your OS to Mojave it no longer works.” (Thanks, Alexander.)

Unfortunately, the late 2018 release of Excel 16.16.7 has broken OpenSolver if you can help us debug this, please email us at email hidden JavaScript is required. Make sure your version of Excel 2016 is at least 15.28 for this to work. OpenSolver for Mac: OpenSolver currently has limited support for Excel 2016 for Mac. Version 2.8.3 of OpenSolver includes initial support for Excel 2016 for Mac, and supports model creation and modification, as well as solving with the CBC and Gurobi solvers.

(Older versions worked with Excel 2003, but we don’t test this any more.) On Mac OS X, it should work using Excel for Mac 2011 with any version of OS X newer than 10.7.

On Windows, OpenSolver should work with Excel 2007 and later we test it on 32 and 64 bit Windows 7/10 in Excel 2010/2013/2016. Both versions are available for Mac and Windows. OpenSolver comes in two versions, a simpler “linear” version and an “advanced” (non-linear) version with support for more solvers, including non-linear solvers. You can also use the built-in update checker to keep up-to-date with the latest release. Please check out the blog page for release details.

OpenSolver is updated whenever new features are added or bugs fixed. Please let us know if they are any issues or problems that you have encountered by commenting on the bottom of the OpenSolver 2.9.4 post. Free feel to read the release notes for the changes and new features added. To solve larger models (up to hundreds of thousands or millions of decision variables), please contact Frontline Systems at or 77.Analytics is a free online magazine covering the wider world of optimisation and data analysis.ġ5-January-2021: We have recently released the beta version of OpenSolver 2.9.4. This server has a finite capacity, as currently provisioned (and paid for) by Frontline Systems. When you click the Solve button in the Add-on, your model is queued for solution by Frontline's backend Solver Server. There are no fixed limits on iterations or subproblems, but the backend server currently limits solving time to 30 seconds.

To see examples, visit Many textbooks also include examples and discussions of Solver models - see Problem size limits in the Solver Add-on are the same as in the Excel Solver (200 decision variables and 100 constraints in addition to bounds on the variables). To learn more about optimization problems and what you can (and cannot) expect from solutions, visit You can use the Solver Add-on to find better ways to allocate scarce resources, maximize profits or minimize costs or risks, in a wide range of applications in finance and investment, marketing, manufacturing and production, distribution and logistics, purchasing, and human resources, as well as science and engineering. You can solve linear programming and mixed-integer programming problems with the Simplex LP Solver, nonlinear optimization problems with the GRG Nonlinear Solver, global optimization problems with the multistart method, and 'arbitrary' Sheets models containing any numeric formulas with the Evolutionary Solver. With the Solver Add-on, created by Frontline Systems, developers of the Solver in Microsoft Excel (you can define and solve many types of optimization problems in Google Sheets, just as you can with the Excel Solver and with Frontline's Solver App for Excel Online.
