    Add EXCLUDE Option in table to Exclude from Solver

    Ok so i finally got a spreadsheet together and solver for what i need to do....now i was wondering if there is a way to add a column that is either a check mark option or something that if checked or clicked it will exclude that row in my solver equation....

    example...
    my solver includes A2:A201=binary as constraint....i get my solution and decide that i do not want one of the A's included in the solution...so i want to click a check mark in column B for instance, and it will not include that row in my solver equation..

    making sense? I hope so haha...

    I'll have to look at my spreadsheet when I get back in town (a couple days) and I'll let u know. It's been a long time so I can't remember.

    Re: Add EXCLUDE Option in table to Exclude from Solver

    In a case like this I would use a helper column. So if I wanted to exclude say A7 from the solver solution I would change the B7 value to 0.

    See example in uploaded file.
