I did already have the Solver add in. I just forgot how to run it. It has been years. When I ran it, I got a bunch of values in those F2-J6 cells, but it's not 100% clear to me what they mean or how I could convert that information into a workable model using just that data, let alone a bunch more. I'll have to play with it some more. Thanks for the start.
