Hi Everyone,

I am working on a problem to update pricing throughout a database of about 800 parts. After looking around online, I think Solver is the best way to approach this problem, but I couldn't find any VBA code to execute this.

Here are the rules (also illustrated below)
Primary Logic: 15% <= Core <= 35% Re Price
Secondary Logic: 85% <= Re Price + Core Price <= 95% Original Price

I pulled the data from row 4 of the spreadsheet and included the formulas:

[TABLE="width: 762"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD="align: right"][TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]D (Original Price)[/TD]
[TD]G (Re Price)[/TD]
[TD]I (Old Core Price)[/TD]
[TD]T (Primary Low %)[/TD]
[TD]U (Primary High %)[/TD]
[TD]V (Secondary Low %)[/TD]
[TD]W (Secondary High %)[/TD]
[TD]X (Core)[/TD]
[TD]Y (Re + Core Price)[/TD]
[TD]Z (New Core)[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]$502.34[/TD]
[TD]$146.97[/TD]
[TD]$10.00[/TD]
[TD]$22.05[/TD]
[TD]$51.44[/TD]
[TD]$426.99[/TD]
[TD]$477.22[/TD]
[TD]$51.44[/TD]
[TD]$198.41[/TD]
[TD]$51.44[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]=G4*0.15[/TD]
[TD]=G4*0.35[/TD]
[TD]=D4*0.85[/TD]
[TD]=D4*0.95[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]=G4+X4[/TD]
[TD]=X4[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
[/TD]
[TD="align: right"][/TD]
[TD="align: right"][/TD]
[TD="align: right"][/TD]
[TD="align: right"][/TD]
[TD="align: right"][/TD]
[TD="align: right"][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

X4 <= U4
X4 >= T4
Y4 <= W4
Y4 >= V4

Changing Variable Cells: X4
Set Objective (Max): Z4

I am looking to replicate this down about 800 rows of data to find the max core price for each part given the constraints. I am not looking to manually update solver each time and was thinking there was a better way to do this through VBA.

Thanks,
Isaac

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
