Dear All OpenOffice Calc does not apparently have a tool similar to MS Excel's solver. The solver of Gnumeric is limited only to Linear Programming problems; it is not able to deal with non-linear problems. Is there some tool for Linux to replace MS Excel's solver? Or has one to boot in MS Windows to solve non-linear optimization problems?
"Goal Seek" in OO.o 2.1 seems to handle non-linear equations ... or are you referring to some other "solver"? In the version of MSOffice that I have, it is called "Goal Seek" there too so that might not be what you are looking for. /Mike
