I have developed a model in Crystal Ball, but I would like to run it in @RISK. Can @RISK run Crystal Ball models?
Starting with @RISK release 6.0, an automatic converter in @RISK lets you open and run risk models that were created in Crystal Ball 7.3 or later. (You must have Crystal Ball and @RISK on the same computer.)
When you open a Crystal Ball spreadsheet, @RISK will ask if you want to convert your model; or you can start a conversion with the Utilities » Convert Workbook command. @RISK will convert Crystal Ball distributions and other model elements to native @RISK functions.
Requirements:
@RISK 6.0 or newer.
If you have @RISK 5.7 or earlier and you want to convert Crystal Ball models, please see Upgrading Palisade Software.
32-bit Excel and 32-bit Crystal Ball installed on this computer.
Model was developed in Crystal Ball 7.3 or newer.
If your model was developed in Crystal Ball 7.0 or earlier, you cannot do an automated conversion but our consultants may be able to help. Please contact your Palisade sales manager for more information.
Certain features cannot be converted automatically. See the topic "Restrictions and Limitations" in the @RISK help file (Help » Documentation » Help). If @RISK finds one of these features, it will display an error or warning message in the conversion summary.
