Hello.

I'm using Solver optimisation to find mean in Poisson distribution (POISSON.DIST(x,mean,TRUE)), for expected probability which is known value.
In my case x is also fixed value, always equal to 2.

I carry out the following calculation process:

- in cell H3 there is a formula: =POISSON.DIST(2,I3,TRUE)
- in cell I3 there is (pre-Solver run) value of 1
- in cell J3 there is a known expected probability
- finally in cell K3 there is a difference (formula) =H3-J3

When I open my Solver window, my Set objective is cell $K$3, To: Value of 0 (zero), By Changing Variable Cells: $I$3.

So for example if I set my cell I3=1, J3=0.51 and run my Solver, result in cell I3 is 2.65.

I should repeat somehow this calculation solving process (loop - VBA) for each row from 3 to 1000.

example.

Excel Facts

Format cells as date
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+3 to format cells as date. (Shift 3 is the # sign which sort of looks like a small calendar).
VBA Code:
Sub Macro1()
    Dim r As Integer
    
    For r = 3 To 1000
        Range("K" & r).GoalSeek Goal:=0, ChangingCell:=Range("I" & r)
    Next r
End Sub
