The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

I cannot open xlsx files with Excel 2003 even with the 2007 compatibility pack

Asked by Newco in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, Microsoft Office Suite

Tags: , , , ,

Hello Experts,

Something weird just started happening: up until last week I was able to open files created with MS Excel 2007, but for some reason xlsx files cannot be opened with Excel 2003 now.

When I double-click on the xlsx file, Excel opens and it goes thru the normal process for opening a spreadsheet, but after a few seconds I receive the following error: "Converter failed to open the file"

Someone told me formulas in Excel 2007 are different that in Excel 2003; Since the document was created in Excel 2007, do you think Excel 2003 cannot read the formulas, formats & macros?
