Whenever I use solver, the changing variable cells become 0.

I have already tried deleting and redownloading Excel. I checked that my Mac en.lproj/Add-ins said Solver.xlam. Another suggestion was to rename it Solver 2.xlam, but it still doesn't work.

    In a Supply / Demand model, it looks to me that your model is not set up correctly.

    The most obvious problem is that your objective :

    =Sumproduct ( row 13, Row 14)

    Your Row 14 are all blank! So, the objective will always be zero.

    I added in the values and my results are still blank.

    The minimum solution of your SumProduct is Zero, so it appears to me to be correct.

    If you need help with your model, post your workbook, and what you are trying to do.
