Essential Features
Monte Carnival is a simple Add-In for Microsoft Excel that comes with a few essential features that make it stand out among the crowd.
Run a Monte Carnival Simulation
With Monte Carnival you can run a simulation and choose whether to print a list of the values that appeared in the simulation cell from each iteration or to calculate all open Excel workbooks during a simulation. Go to our demo page to see it in action!
Insert 12 Types of Random Distributions
Monte Carnival comes with 12 different types of random distributions including Normal, Lognormal, Triangular, Discrete, Uniform, Binomial, Yes/No, Beta, Gamma, T, F, and Chi-Squared. Go to our demo page to see it in action!
Use the Debug Model Tool
The Debug Model tool allows you to efficiently search a model for errors using conditional statements. Once the criteria is met, the simulation will stop, allowing you to make necessary corrections. Go to our demo page to see it in action!
