What is the analogue package for SOLVER in excel?
I have a function with 3 parameters a, b, c and a data vector DATA, the output is a scalar, I need to find a combiner a, b, c to make the result > minimum ?
Is analogue package for SOLVER in excel? Other solution ?
Any hint ?

Are you solving a linear programming problem? Smooth nonlinear? Nonsmooth nonlinear?
Smooth nonlinear.

Some help ?

Optim.jl and JuMP.jl

I obviously have a special interest in promoting Optim.jl, but you can also look to BlackBoxOptim.jl and NLopt.jl depending on your problem type and setup in general (do you want to pass in generic AbstractArrays? Then NLopt.jl won’t work out of the box, etc)
Big thanks, I am traying 
but is no easy to me:/
i have my_function(a,b,c), it return x. How (and which package) to find
a ,b, c for the lowest x ? my_function is non linear .

You can try Optim or any of the other packages mentioned. Do you know more about your problem? Is it continuous? Differentiable?
In Optim you would do something like the following (the absolute minimal example)
x0 = fill(0.0, 3) # use three 0's as starting values for a,b,c
my_vector_function(x) = my_function(a,b,c)
optimize(my_vector_function, x0)
Thanks It is working !
I have multivariate optimization:
x0 = fill(0.5, 3) (makes x0.1, x0.2 x0.3) Is posible |enter the limit
separatly for each other ? like this : |1 > x0.1 >0 |||1 > x0.2 >0| |||2 > x0.3 >0 or one for all ? | Paul |

Sorry, I don’t understand the question.
I hope it is ok ,
x0 = fill(0.5, 3)
optimize(my_fun,x0)
How to write the bounds? Lik thise is ok ? :
optimize(my_fun,x0.|1 > x0[1] >0 |||1 > x0[2] >0| |||2 > x0[3] >0)
?
