Sensitivity SuitesAuthors: Ken Baker, Steve Powell, and Bob Burnham Publisher: Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College Contact: sensitivity.toolkit@dartmouth.edu
Author/Publisher Statement: The Sensitivity Toolkit was created to bring the most powerful tools of sensitivity analysis to the spreadsheet. The Toolkit supports four different forms of sensitivity analysis: Data Sensitivity, Tornado Chart, Solver Sensitivity, and Crystal Ball Sensitivity.
Editorial Comments: This is currently the most flexible and powerful sensitivity suite we know of. The alpha test version was excellent. The final version of the toolkit requires a downgrade of Visual Basic security within Excel by choosing "Trust access to Visual Basic Project." Because of this requirement, we did not review the final version, though we anticipate that it is excellent. The toolkit is also bundled with Powel and Baker's text, The Art of Modeling with Spreadsheets: Management Science, Spreadsheet Engineering, and Modeling Craft.
