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!

Help creating a complex formula

Asked by Bartender_1 in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, VB Script, Spreadsheet Software

Tags: Microsoft, Office Excel, 2000/2003

I have a spreadsheet that has a list of applicable dates in one column. (Say Column A, and there's a few years worth of dates.)
I have cell with a start date.
I have a cell with an end date.
I have a cell that calculates an accrual rate for holiday accrual.
I need a formula to put into Column B that will do the following. (Assume Cell B1)
Check to see if the date in Cell A1 falls between Start Date and End Date, and if so, show the accrual for that day. If not, show 0 instead.

In addition to this, a person could hold more than one position which means they could accrue holidays at a different rate. Example: they could hold a position for 50% of the time that accrues holiday time at %5.5, (because this position is 50% time, it would actually accrue at 2.75%) and hold a position for 25% of the time that accrues holday time at %11.54.(because this position is 25% time, it would actually accrue at 2.885%)  And these different positions could have different start and end dates. So, if a person was employed with both positions during a day, their accrual should be 5.635% for that day.

There would be a seperate column for each position, and a seperate start/end date for each position, so after the formula, I would add all applicable accruals together to show proper accruals for a payperiod.

I know it's weird having each day listed, but I couldn't think of a way to eliminate weekends. (Holiday's don't accrue on weekends) so I've listed every day in Column A, and not included weekends. ~sighs~

So, hopefully this is clear. Ask any questions you need.
