Optimization tool constraint condition error

[Butorin_Petr]

Hello, I have trouble with the optimization tool.

I have constraint: -1*[46_2018_1]+[46_2018_3]=0 (the third constraint in my flow)

Optimization tool gives me a solution, where [46_2018_1] = 0 and [46_2018_3] = 1 and says that constraint condition is met and that constraint value is zero, however in this solution, it equals to one, not to zero: -1*0+1 = 1

Please, share any ideas on how to fix this mistake.

Thank you!

Hey @Butorin_Petr,

It looks like you didn't have your variables entered in the same order from your objective matrix to your constraint matrix. I tweaked the order so that they match and now it looks like all the constraints are being met.

Best,

Thank you very much!

But that mechanics seems very strange to me, as i'm using variables names and didn't even think that variables positioning could affect the tool.
