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:...

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

Hi there, I very often come along this question, which should be simple to answer. Each time I fail. And do an easy workaround. BUT ... how can this be done nicely? Typical examples: Calculate ratio...

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...

How to profile? How to find performance bottlenecks in your model?

Thank you very much Brian! Ben gave me some hints where I might lose a lot of time. I tried to restructure my model accordingly, and it now runs significantly faster. My findings: Do not use INDIRECT. ...

How-To do a Monte-Carlo-Simulation with Quantrix to add Risk and Uncertainty to Planning

Dear all, Quantrix is an excellent tool to do business forecasting and planning. But planning often means deterministic extrapolation of the past. Unfortunately, the future has always been unpredictable,...

How to profile? How to find performance bottlenecks in your model?

Hi, In the real world Monte-Carlo-Modell, the model is growing. Still relatively simple, but a full recalc takes about 1.5 seconds. This seems not very long, but when you want to do 10'000 recalcs, it...
