Hi, getting started with the Isthmus Partners World Cup Simulator is easy. Just follow these steps:
1. Go to the following web page: http://www.isthmuspartners.ae/display.php?page_id=77&page_tagline=true
2. Scroll down until you see the Excel icon in the "Isthmus Partners World Cup Simulator April 2010" row.
3. Right click on the Excel icon and then select "Save Target As....."
4. Save the Excel file to the destination in your computer that you prefer.
5. Save and close any other Excel files you might have open. Open the simulator spreadsheet. You will need to enable macros to run for the model to be operational.
6. Right cick on the pdf icon next to the Excel Icon and save the pdf file. It is a quick guide to using the simulator.
7. You can also download the pdf report titled "Modelling and Simulation - World Cup Simulator". It is a report about modelling, simulation, the World Cup and how the Isthmus Partners World Cup Simulator was built.
Cheers.
Post comments if you have any issues setting up the model.
