    Need URGENT help please - SOLVER

    Hi all,

    I am trying to use the Solver add in. I want to solve for the orange highlighted cells in Sheet 2. I only have 3 categories here but in my full list I will be using over 60 and will be changing my target percentage. Right now I would like to change the product count to where the target = 90%. I have had to manually change them and keep testing them until i get to 80%.

    Can someone please provide me with clear steps to use the solver.

    Thank you so much!

    Click Data > What-If Analysis > Goal Seek

    Set Cell: D7
    To value: 90%
    By changing cell: C7

    You could run a macro to automate this for each row:

    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...
