I have set Solver up as shown above and no matter which method I use, I cannot get a result.

I have tried unsuccessfully on Excel XL for Windows, Excel 2011 and 2016 for Mac

I suspect I am doing something wrong in the set up - can some-one please help me?

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
