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!

Congratulations to our new Quadruple Genius—zorvek

Asked by byundt in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: quadruple

Today, we congratulate a formidable talent in Excel. Most people slow down once they earn their Genius certificate—but not our man Kevin. He has been involved with Excel even before its commercial release in 1985. And his efforts to help people solve their Excel problems are as strong today as they were when he earned his first million points.

Along with the brilliance you expect from an Excel Genius, Kevin exhibits the dogged persistence needed to solve a problem. Take, for example, the person who wanted to eliminate the dropdown arrows on a PivotTable: http:/Q_22028172.html    I remember looking at that question and realizing that the only way to solve it would be to methodically test the properties and methods of the PivotTable object until you either proved it couldn't be done or else succeeded. And that's exactly what Kevin did.

And the quality of his answers even to easy problems has improved with age. The Excel TA is somewhat repetitive, so Kevin's response to this situation was to develop a database of solutions to recurring problems. He labors over the wording in these generic discussions to make sure that his message is communicated clearly. And before posting, he often adds specifics related to the question to make the discussion relevant. He does such a good job at this—I've cribbed the text from four of these, and have used bits and pieces of at least a dozen others.

Woohoo Kevin!
