Monte-Carlo Simulation + Optimization for Excel 32/64bit

Crystal Ball Example ModelOracle Crystal Ball Suite (Decision Optimizer Edition) is a complete risk analysis and simulation package for Microsoft Excel that enables you to assign probabilities to outcomes and analyze which variables most impact your decision.

Crystal Ball is the easiest way to perform Monte Carlo simulations in your own Excel spreadsheets and models because it automatically calculates thousands of different "what if" cases, saving the inputs and results of each calculation as individual scenarios. Analysis of these scenarios reveals the range of possible outcomes, their probability of occurring, which input has the most effect on your model and where you should focus your efforts.

  • Easy-to-use Interface
  • Powerful graphics and reports
  • Ability to identify factors influencing your results
  • Collaborate with team members and share data
  • OptQuest is an industry-leading optimization tool that runs with Crystal Ball. As an add-in to Crystal Ball, OptQuest enhances simulation models by automatically searching for and finding optimal solutions. At the basic level, OptQuest selects a value for each decision variable, enters those values into your spreadsheet, runs a Monte Carlo simulation on the spreadsheet, records the results, and repeats the process. With OptQuest, you can determine the best combination of decision variables that yields the results you are seeking!
    • Test thousands of scenarios
    • View all the best scenarios
    • 3 Solution Search Models (Scatter, Neural Network and Taboo Solution Searches)
    • Incorporate multiple constraints such as profitability, NPV, quality specs, etc.
