Hi,
So I have the following scenario I’m trying to test out:
There is a multi-stage contest with 30 participants. Participant 1 has a goal of finishing the competition in the top 10. The first round of the competition is complete and Participant 1 would like to determine the highest number of points they can obtain in the next round in order to achieve 10th place or higher.
The assumptions are:
Participant 1’s place after round 2 is >10
The scores of all participants in each round are x>=1 and x<=30
Scores must be integer values
Ties are allowed and the next highest place would take skip a place (e.g. 1, 1, 3, etc.)
is this something that is possible using the Solver tool or do I need to do something more robust using formulas/VBA?
