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!

A vb sorting problem

Asked by D4Ly in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: excel, vb, sort

I am very new to vb coding for excel, but need to create a sorting system. I will try to be as specific as possible.

In worksheet 1, the range to sort is
Column 5, Row 15, to column 144, row 10,000 (some extremely high value to allow for future expansion of rows).

Every 10th column within this range belongs to a category. ie. Column 5, 15, 25, 35, etc... are together, Column 6, 16, 26, 36, etc... are together, and so on

In each field is either a number value or a blank.

So, working with the group that starts with column 5, I need to do the following for each row and output the data to worksheet 2:
- find out how many columns in the group for each row has some number value. So, if out of the entire group a row has values in only 2 of those columns, the output for that row would be "2" in a column in worksheet 2.
- sum the columns which do have a number value and output that sum in the next column. So, if one of the 2 columns is a "9" and the other is a "10", the output value would be 19 for that row.

I then need to sort these rows from greatest to least by the summed value column.

Then I need to move onto the next grouping of 10th columns, starting with column 6, doing the same thing, sorting by the summed values of each row.

When finished I should have groups of 2 columns for each of these 10th column categories, all sorted by the summed values.

I hope this makes sense!!!
