The Easy Steps Towards Optimal Solutions
To use AcumenGA, add it into Excel an just follow these steps:

1. Open a workbook.

2. Use a block of cells for parameters that you wish to optimize.

3. Create a formula that you want to minimize or maximize that uses those parameters

4. Create a "Control Sheet" and specify:

   • The minimum and maximum values for the optimized parameters

   • The precision (steps or levels) at which these variables will be evaluated

   • Whether you wish to minimize or maximize the result

   • Optionally adjust the number of iterations to do (length of search, usually between 100 and 5000)

5. Select the cells to optimize and then select 
   "Tools | AcumenGA: Set Optimized Range" from Excel's menu

6. Select the cell with the formula then select 
   "Tools | AcumenGA: Set Target Cell"

7. Select "Tools | AcumenGA: Optimize"

You will see numbers "whirring" in the spreadsheet as alternatives are being evaluated.  After the number of iterations (tries) have passed, the best result is placed into the worksheet.

AcumenGA's control sheet is simple and straightforward.  Just set the minimum and maximum allowed values and the levels (precision), how many alternative solutions to evaluate and whether you wish to minimize or maximize the result.  Simple!
