Welcome Mac Users - Get Solver for Excel 2011

Solver for Excel 2008 is Still Available Here

Frontline Systems has been working with Microsoft's Mac Business Unit for the past two years to bring you a faster, easier to use, and more powerful Solver.  If you have Excel 2011 installed, you can download and install it right now.

Solver is substantially improved, but two of its best features haven't changed:  It's still free and 100% compatible -- your existing Solver models will work without any changes, whether they're from Excel 2004 or 2008 for Mac, or Excel 2003, 2007 or 2010 for Windows.

If you're still using Excel 2008 for Mac, you can download Solver for Excel 2008 here -- but we highly recommend an upgrade to Excel 2011, for many reasons including a better Solver!

Includes New Evolutionary Solving Method Based on genetic algorithms, this method complements Solver's linear programming and nonlinear optimization methods.  Use it to find solutions for models with IF and LOOKUP functions. Global Optimization for Nonlinear Models Automatically run the GRG Nonlinear Solver from multiple, intelligently chosen starting points, to find better solutions when the old Solver would be "trapped" in a local optimum.
