DDAYS in the solver - Bvr - 10-21-2016 07:46 AM
Hi,
I try to use the DDAYS command in the solver but get always "Bad Guess(es):
E1: A=DDAYS(D1;D2)
D1:2006,1010
D2:2006,1111
A: 1,0000 as seed
Any clue?
Thx.

I'm guessing this would not work in the solver due to it not being a continuous function with no derivative. I'm pretty sure the same limitation would have been in the 48 series too.

Yes, you are right here of course. I was specifically thinking the "solve for any of the variables" aspect part of the solver like you point out. Thanks for the clarification!

Thanks guys,
I used Dstart and Dend and it works perfect now.
