To address this, we have added the ability to “resume” a solve. This means that if your model takes longer than 6 minutes to solve, the procedure will just cut out at the 6-minute mark with no feedback. One limitation of the Google Sheets platform is that there is a timelimit of 6 minutes for any script to run.

Once you have selected a solver, you can build and solve the model using the “Solve Model” button, which will load the solution into the sheet when it is finished. Instead, you should select on the sheet the relevant range, and then click the appropriate “Update” button to load this range into the appropriate area of the model.īelow are some screenshots of various models defined inside the Google Sheets interface (you can click to make these larger):
GOOGLE SHEETS FOR MAC DOWNLOAD INSTALL
You can install the OpenSolver Add-on by clicking on the Chrome Web Store link below and then clicking on the “Free” button. As of April 2016 we now provide some redundancy in solver choice by supporting using GLPK via glpk.js to solve problems inside your browser, and using Cbc on the NEOS Server to solve problems in the cloud. We use the excellent, open source solvers Glop (for LP) and SCIP (for MIP) to solve the problems. With the OpenSolver Add-on you can solve both linear and mixed-integer programs from within Google Sheets with no additional setup required. OpenSolver has also made it to Google Sheets, letting you solve your optimisation problems with OpenSolver from anywhere! We would welcome volunteers who could assist with this.

Unfortunately, we don’t currently have a timeline for this being fixed.
