Solver for Excel 2008 available

by Adam Fisher-Cox on Aug 31, 2008 at 12:24 PM

Office 2008After leaving it out of Office 2008 along with Visual Basic for Applications, Microsoft has returned Solver to Excel 2008.

Prior to this addition, Office users would have to use Office 2004 for Excel if they needed solver, defeating the purpose of having Office 2008 on the system. It is a standalone application, and you have to run it alongside Excel. There is not a way to run it from within Excel.

Solver requires Excel 12.1.2, and Mac OS X v10.4.9 or 10.5.4. It is a free download.

Solver had been left out of Office 2008 due to Visual Basic for Applications’ dependency. VBA is supposed to return to Mac Office in the next release.
