For now, leave this blank (or put any random numbers, it doesn’t matter). Solved Budget refers to the budget solver tells us is the optimal breakdown – this is the data we will feed back into our AdWords campaigns. These are the columns that the Excel Solver is going to ‘optimize’ for us. You’ll notice I rounded up to $85 – this is to mitigate the fact that some days will naturally be down in the month, and so I want to add a little headroom. In my case, this client has a monthly budget of $2,500, so the daily total budget is $2,500/31 = $80.65. If you notice my total cell for the ‘Max Possible Spend’ column isn’t the sum of that row, but rather my maximum allowable daily budget. It takes our current traffic level, and back fills in the rest of the traffic we are cutting out due to lost data. This isn’t a perfect way to calculate the maximum a campaign could possibly spend, but it is a good approximation. daily spend by dividing my cost column by the number of days my data spans (=Cost/30 in my case), and then worked out the maximum possible spend using a function of my existing spend amounts and my impression share lost to budget. You will also want to add total cells at the end of your ‘Max Possible Spend’, ‘Solved Budget’ and ‘Solved Conversions’ columns (see examples below). What you need to do next is add the columns you need as part of your Solver equation. Hopefully you now have something in your Excel that looks like this: I typically use 30 days of data – you can go with more or less suited to your need, just remember to be consistent when working back to daily amounts later on.
Rate, and Lost Impression Share due to Budget (Search, Display or both depending on which types of campaign you have).

The first thing you’ll need to do is download a campaign report from AdWords that includes columns for Avg. Now we have the general housekeeping out of the way, let’s move onto using Solver to give you some awesomely optimized daily budgets. On Mac you should find it in the ‘Tools’ menu (see picture):
#IS THERE SOLVER FOR MAC IN EXCELL 2011 HOW TO#
Here’s a link to the Microsoft Office instructions for how to get it running. From here you should be able to find the Solver plugin and set it live. To add it, go to your Excel options and select ‘Add Ins’. In my case it was already installed and located on the ‘Data’ tab of my ribbon. Not all of you will have Solver installed on your version of Excel. Second, I’m using a Mac and Excel 2011 to show you this – it runs a little differently on every version of Excel but most answers on where to find specifics can be found using Google. First, if you are consistently budget limited, you might consider using lower bids to maximize the number of clicks you get within your budget, rather than just changing around you daily budgets. Before we go any further let me add a couple of caveats.
