I am working on an optimization problem using solver and every time I open the solver Parameters, it adds additional constraints that I did not add myself.
For example. I have three constraints entered that I want to use for this problem.
$H$14 <= $H$13
$K$14 <= $K$13
$N$14 <= $N$13
When I save this and close solver and run it it works perfectly. Then when I re-open solver parameters by clicking on the solver button under the Data tab in excel to view the existing constraints, there are over 20 constraints that make no sense added to the constraints. These added constraints then make the solver answer wrong.
The additional constraints change each time I open solver. Here are an example of a few of them.
$K$14 <= $R$33
$K$14 <= $R$33
$K$14 <= $R$33
$K$14 <= $R$33
$K$14 <= $R$33
$H$14 <= $O$33
$H$14 <= $O$33
$H$14 <= $O$33
$H$14 <= $O$33
$P$21 <= $W$40
$P$21 <= $W$40
$P$21 <= $W$40
$P$21 <= $W$40
It adds multiple repeats of each added constraint, and all of these cells are empty, so it completely ruins my solver solution. I am developing this program for a project and I need it to not mess up every time my professor opens the constraints to observe what I did. I have tried opening the file on separate computers and it does the same thing. Has anyone else ever encounter this? Am I doing something wrong that is resulting in these additional constraints being made? Any helps appreciated. I can send the file if someone wants to take a look at it themselves.
Thanks!
