Is a native Monte-Carlo functionality needed in Quantrix?

Hi all! Yesterday during the Roadmap - Session of the Quantrix Dimension, there was a point about including native Monte-Carlo functionality in Quantrix. I was a bit intrigued by this, as I have developed...

Would a cell property „Protect cell from input“ (setable via expression) make sense?

There are a series of input values in the model, which are specified by the modeler (in a sense of default values). Depending on privilege, the user may or may not change these default values. How can...

Apple M3 support

There is native support for M-processors since a year. I use it on a Apple M1, and it's great performance. Much faster than on PC. I've not tested on M3 tough. Gilles

Delete Visible Rows in Large Data

Hi Jim, Did you try to do the delete-step with "Autocalculate = Off". I suppose (but not 100% sure) that deleting is step by step process, so it will eventually trigger recalculations and verifications...

Sum of items: Get sum of all items to calculate one item

Hi S A U, Thank you very much for your suggestion. It perfectly works! Lyndsey earlier suggested to me to use "summary". It looks to me that all three variants Final = Unscaled / sum ( forcelist (Unscaled:Comp:Percentage)...

Sum of items: Get sum of all items to calculate one item

Honestly, this is not a marketing gag. But seems that always if I think hard how I could explain a problem to somebody (e.g. the board), it clears my head and I find the solution. So hope this helps somebody:...

Cool, thanks for the hint! I just downloaded and successfully installed. It now shows correctly "Apple Chips" under application. I run first speed tests, it seems to double the calculation speed. Not the...

Access solver by scripting?

Hi there, As far I see, it's not possible to access the solver by script? If it would, I could include it inside my Monte-Carlo-Simulation: draw random variables as an input (this are e.g. parameters...

Setting a cell to a fixed value

I do not think now() does recalculate, if the test is false. So it would write time only once. Except if you force recalculate the model, then it will write empty. This is not what you want. So I suggest:...

Models saved in v22.2 backwards compatible?

Hi Jeff, Are you working on Windows? And sometimes you say you can open an V22.2 saved model on a V22.1.2 version? I'm working on Mac (M1-version), and model saved in V22.2 can NEVER be opened in V22.1.2...
