14.1. "No outputs or inputs to display"

Applies to:
TopRank 5.x

Problem:
When I open my Model Window, I get the message

No outputs or inputs to display

Response:
You have some characters in your Excel names that are not in the Western European (ISO-8859-1) character set, such as Greek letters. This bug has been noted for fixing in a future release.

Here is the workaround:

In Excel 2000 to 2003, click Insert » Name » Define; in Excel 2007 or 2010 click Formulas » Defined Names » Name Manager. Scan the list for any non-Roman characters. (They sort alphabetically after the Roman letters, so any name that seems to be out of alphabetical sequence is worth a look.) Change the names to all Western European characters, and make the corresponding changes in your formulas.
