I have a need to run Solver based on data the glide app user puts in.

For example, if he wants to spend $x on an item and make y% return, what’s the max x in dollars he can spend?

So you would have a model in advance to run the Solver like in Excel, is that correct? I don’t know if the same thing exists in Google Sheets, but anyway at the moment this sounds too complex to be integrated.
