Self referencing formulas for 3 things that depend on eachother.
So, for a game I am trying to figure out how much "heavy oil" I require to make a set amount of "heavy fuel" and "propene". The issue is, to make propene there come a lot of side products, including the original products of "heavy fuel". See picture 1. (Steam cracked X, requires 1 X for 1.2 steam cracked X, that's why the number don't appear to match)
Light steam cracked light fuel for example produces naphtha, which can then be turned into Mid steam cracked naphtha. But that in turn produces light fuel. So you create a loop of naptha and light fuel. (This also happens for Heavy fuel as you can see.)
Now my question is, can I automatically calculate these loops? Excel usually returns 0 if I try.
