An Excel add-in providing optimization tools and solvers for linear, mixed-integer, and potentially nonlinear problems directly within the spreadsheet environment.
XLOPTIM
- Excel
- Data Analytics, Mathematics, Process Control, Simulation
Features:
- Linear programming (LP), mixed-integer programming (MIP), potentially nonlinear programming (NLP), optimization modeling in Excel, solver engine integration, sensitivity analysis, graphical interface for problem setup
Pricing:
- Paid
- Offers optimization capabilities within Excel, allows users to define and solve optimization problems without leaving the spreadsheet, potentially more affordable than some high-end solver suites.
- Commercial software, specific features and solver power depend on the version/license, may not handle extremely large or complex problems as well as dedicated standalone optimization packages, documentation and support level can vary.
Best for:
- Excel users needing to solve optimization problems of various types (linear, mixed-integer) who prefer an integrated add-in solution.
