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!

Need help understanding CROSSTAB summaries in RS....???

Asked by CRXIuser2005 in MS SQL Server, SQL Reporting, SQL Server 2005

I'm new to RS and have a background in BI using tools such as Business Objects XI and Crystal Reports XI.

In Crystal specifically, there is a way to easily create what is called a CROSSTAB summary of data. Once data is pulled into the report,...the CROSSTAB simply summarized and aggregates the data based on the criteria you place in the crosstab setup.

I need this same functionality in RS. I have a requirement whereby the end user will pull data for a PORTFOLIO of our customers that where obtained in a given MONTH. I need to analyze the PAYMENT ACTIVITY over a period of 16 months (on average). Could be more months, could be less months but on average our customers pay us over a 16 month period.

OK...what I need RS to do is to DISPLAY A SUMMARY OF PAYMENT ACTIVITY BY MONTH THAT WILL "AUTOMATICALLY" DISPLAY ANY ADDITIONAL MONTHS AS THEY HAPPEN.

So,...IF the portfolio of customers for the month of Sep08 was used in the report,...I need a summary to begin showing [by month] their payment activity. So as of today 10/08/09 the RS report should DISPLAY all payment activity for SEP08 ...AND.... any payment activity for OCT08. .....AUTOMATICALLY...

Then as the payment data accrues over the months...I need this RS report to be READY to automatically DISPLAY a column of data for those months AS THE HAPPEN....

As of now, I do not see a way to accomplish this. I'm sure there is...but I just need to be pointed in the right direction......

THANKS
