That worked, Dave. &nbsp;Thanks. &nbsp;BTW, my phone auto-corrected &quot;Ashy&quot; &nbsp;I meant to put &quot;aahhh. &nbsp;Thanks, again. &nbsp;I didn't know that little caveat. &nbsp;Good to know.

I am trying to use solver to figure out what we need commissions to be in order to get to a specific profit margin. &nbsp;I did the same EXACT task last month with no problems. &nbsp;But now Solver can't find a solution for some reason. &nbsp;Can someone tell me if they see anything wrong with the layout or criteria set for the attached solver problem? <a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2011/05_w21/459863/solverProb.xlsx" target="_blank" class="file-inline" title="Problem with Excel's Solver (12 KB)"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 512 512"><path d="M67.508 468.467c-58.005-58.013-58.016-151.92 0-209.943l225.011-225.04c44.643-44.645 117.279-44.645 161.92 0 44.743 44.749 44.753 117.186 0 161.944l-189.465 189.49c-31.41 31.413-82.518 31.412-113.926.001-31.479-31.482-31.49-82.453 0-113.944L311.51 110.491c4.687-4.687 12.286-4.687 16.972 0l16.967 16.971c4.685 4.686 4.685 12.283 0 16.969L184.983 304.917c-12.724 12.724-12.73 33.328 0 46.058 12.696 12.697 33.356 12.699 46.054-.001l189.465-189.489c25.987-25.989 25.994-68.06.001-94.056-25.931-25.934-68.119-25.932-94.049 0l-225.01 225.039c-39.249 39.252-39.258 102.795-.001 142.057 39.285 39.29 102.885 39.287 142.162-.028A739446.174 739446.174 0 0 1 439.497 238.49c4.686-4.687 12.282-4.684 16.969.004l16.967 16.971c4.685 4.686 4.689 12.279.004 16.965a755654.128 755654.128 0 0 0-195.881 195.996c-58.034 58.092-152.004 58.093-210.048.041z"/></svg>solverProb.xlsx</a>
