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!

Excel VBA - formatting Cell color

Asked by dba123 in Visual Basic Programming

Tags: excel, color, vba, cell

I am using a Spreadsheet object in conjunction with my ASP code.  I found various properties for changing an Excel spreadsheet but can't figure out how to change the cell's background.

Set objSpreadsheet = Server.CreateObject("OWC.Spreadsheet")


            objSpreadsheet.Cells(p,1).font.size = "12"
            objSpreadsheet.Cells(p,1).font.bold = True
            objSpreadsheet.Cells(p,1).font.italic = True
            objSpreadsheet.Cells(p,1).font.color = vbRed

I'm not sure if these properties are coming straight from Excel VBA or what.  I also don't know what vb is in vbRed because when I print this to the screen doing a Response.Write in ASP, the value behind vbRed is 255 which is probably the R in RGB but I still don't get it.  I can't just plug in a color # like #ffffff.  For instance jSpreadsheet.Cells(p,1).font.color = #RRRFFF won't work

so my 3 questions are:

1) Is this Excel VBA when I am using the OWC.Spreadsheet object?
2) How to change the cell's background color
3) What is vbRed
