MatrixSolver For Excel

1) The document describes using Excel to solve systems of linear equations by setting up the equations in matrix form (A*x=b) and calculating the inverse of the coefficient matrix A. 2) It provides examples of solving systems of various sizes (2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6) by entering the coefficients into a matrix, calculating the inverse, multiplying the inverse by the constants vector to solve for x, and verifying the solution. 3) The key steps are to set up the matrix equation, calculate the inverse of A using the MINVERSE function, multiply the inverse by the constants vector b to solve for x, and check the solution by calculating

Solving a system of equations with Excel

Adopted from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EnecLe_0B4

You have obtained the following six equations from KVL and KCL

1 25 i1 + 2 i3 -10 i5 = 130
2 10 i2 +10 i5 +2 i6 = 450
3 (-25) i1 -10 i2 + 100 i4 = 0
4 (-1) i1 + i3 - i4 =0
5 i1 - i2 + i5 = 0
6 i2 - i6 = 0

This gives you coefficients for matrix A, and vector b, with unknown vector x=[i1, i2, i3 , …, i6].

A*x=b

Step 1 Type your coefficients for the square matrix (this example is for a 6x6 matrix)

A*x=b

i1 i2 i3 i4 i5 i6 b
25 0 2 0 -10 0 130
0 10 0 0 10 2 450
-25 -10 0 100 0 0 0
-1 0 1 -1 0 0 0
1 -1 0 0 1 0 0
0 1 0 0 0 -1 0

Step 2 find inverse of matrix A'

a. Highlight the solution space (6x6 array) that will contain the inverse matrix
b. Type =
c. Select function MINVERSE and select the array at the top, i.e. A
d. Make sure to click CTRL-SHIFT-RETURN (that will evaluate the whole solution array)

A'= 0.030261348 0.01348 -0.00061 -0.06052 0.167813 0.02696


0.0137551582 0.051582 -0.00028 -0.02751 -0.37827 0.103164
0.0392022008 0.022008 0.009216 0.921596 0.171939 0.044017
0.0089408528 0.008528 0.009821 -0.01788 0.004127 0.017056
-0.01650619 0.038102 0.00033 0.033012 0.45392 0.076204
0.0137551582 0.051582 -0.00028 -0.02751 -0.37827 -0.89684

Step 3 You have now found A' and will use the equation

x = A' *b

to find solution vector x.

a. Highlight solution space (here 6x1 vector) and type =


b. Use function MMULT(array of A' , array of b)
c. Make sure to click CTRL-SHIFT-RETURN (that will evaluate the whole solution array)

x= 10
25

25

Step 4: Verify by calculating b = A x, or MMULT(array of A , array of x) plus CTRL SHIFT ENTER

b= 130
