Does anybody has a SAS code that does similar things to Excel Solver Thu, 13 Mar 2008 20:51:11 GMT deleted_user 2008-03-13T20:51:11Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/Mathematical-Optimization/Solver-in-SAS/m-p/7455#M174 Does anybody has a SAS macro, that equivalent to Solver in Excel?

Since Excel's solver is designed for spreadsheet use, there is no equivalent macro in the SAS environment. However, modeling language are far more powerful than spreadsheet-based optimization. You can find more information about proc OPTMODEL in the documentation.
