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 have two fields - that are both numeric - one or appointment start time and one for appointment end time. They are both stored in a numeric field in SQL Server.

What I need to do, in CR XI, is read the following and I have no idea how to create the formula:
1) read in the number - ex. 1315
2) convert it to a string to manipulate it
3) determine the length of the string - if the length is 3, then I only need to go after the first position of the string because it is a single digit - for example - 815 as opposed to 1730
4) if the first two bytes are greater than 12, I need to subtract 12 - in my case of 13, I need to convert to 1, something like 17 would be a 5
5) then I need to put the first two positions together then concatentate with ":" and then the last two positions -

So if my value is 1315 - I want it to read 1:15 PM

Could someone put together a snippet of code to show me how to do this.

It would be a huge help!!!

Thanks in advance.
