Question 527 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B

Kyle is searching for the solver function but cannot seem to find it anywhere, not even under the Data tab in the ribbon.Where can it be found?

Answer

If it is not on the ribbon, it has not been activated; Kyle needs to activate it under Add-Ins in the Excel Options dialog box.

It is not under the Data tab because it is a formula; Kyle needs to look under the Formula tab on the ribbon in the Add-Ins group.

It is not a function that is usually displayed on the ribbon; Kyle can add it to the ribbon as a macro function.

Solver is a separate program; Kyle needs to launch it from his operating system's Start menu.

Explanation

Solver is an Excel add-in, so it may not appear on the Data tab until the add-in is enabled. Kyle can activate it in Excel Options under Add-Ins; after enabling Solver, its command is available on the Data tab. It is not a worksheet formula or a separate program launched from the Start menu.
