ULTIMO RILASCIO: Novembre 2025

What’sBest! è un componente aggiuntivo di Excel che consente di costruire modelli di ottimizzazione su larga scala in un layout a forma libera all’interno di un foglio di calcolo. What’sBest! combina la comprovata potenza dell’ottimizzazione lineare, non lineare (convessa e non convessa/globale), quadratica, quadraticamente vincolata, conica del secondo ordine, semidefinita, stocastica e integrale con Microsoft Excel, l’ambiente di modellazione aziendale più diffuso e flessibile attualmente in uso. Il recente rilascio di What’sBest! 19.0 include una serie di miglioramenti significativi e nuove funzionalità. Scopri how to formulate SP Models in What’sBest!.

Nota:

  • Chiudere tutte le applicazioni, in particolare Excel, per evitare confusione o interferenze durante l’installazione.

  • Scegliere una delle due modalità di download di What’sBest!:

    1. File .exe

    Questa opzione è generalmente la più comoda, poiché i file vengono estratti automaticamente.

    • Eseguire il file WB-WINDOWS-20.0.exe.

    • Premere il pulsante Unzip per estrarre i file.

    • Se si desidera estrarre i file in una cartella diversa da quella predefinita, specificarne il percorso prima di premere Unzip.

    2. File .zip

    Questa modalità è utile se il software antivirus rende difficile l’esecuzione del file .exe.

    • Estrarre innanzitutto il contenuto del file .zip in una cartella a scelta.

    • Aprire la cartella estratta ed eseguire SetupInstall.exe.

  • Nota importante:
    Le versioni a 32 bit sono compatibili solo con Excel a 32 bit.
    È possibile verificare la versione di Excel tramite il menu File → Account → Informazioni su Excel.

DOCUMENTAZIONE UTENTE

Il manuale d’uso di What’sBest! può essere scaricato in formato pdf qui.
