Excel Solver
What does it do and how does it work?
The Excel Solver automates the process on building your food chain for the Ecosystem Building Game in the PSG. The Solver comes with pre-built formulas which model all of the eating rules of the game, allowing you to simply input species data and let the Solver do all the heavy lifting.
Do I need to know how to use Excel and and how to build complex formulas?
No. All the formulas are already built-in and you only need to input the right data in the yellow cells. Extensive instructions are provided in the Excel Solver.
What are the laptop requirements to use the Excel Solver?
There are no particular requirement for your laptop and the solver works on both Windows and Mac.
For Mac, the minimum Microsoft Office version must be Excel 2016, older versions are not supported.
What if the PSG Changes?
We collect feedback from every single customer to check if McKinsey makes any changes to the PSG. Our Solver is regularly kept up to date with the current PSG to ensure the tool works as intended.
