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!

Is it possible to create VB form to search Excel file and return results?

Asked by baiowolf in Visual Basic Programming, Visual Studio, Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: Excel, Visual Basic

I have an excel file composed of 3 sheets (could be combined into one) that is being used for donated inventory tracking.  It details the names of the donors, and then in other cells goes on to include info about the title of the item donated, the date it was donated, and so on.

Is it possible to make a VB form that could search the excel file by first and/or last name and display returned matches (partial or whole), along with the corresponding data from the other cells?

Example:  Search for "willis" returns

Name: Willis, Bruce
Title: Bruno album
Date: 10/22/90

Also, if there's an easier way to accomplish this, with or without VB, please speak up.  I'm a total newb at VB, but it's the only tool I have at my disposal that I have any experience with.

Thanks!
