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 Gurus: Building a range of cell revisited

Asked by GPSAddict in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

I have a workbook which contains 6 sheets (that number is dynamic it's only given as a base to get code going). I want to

1-loop through the last 5 sheets in their respective entire column B content (starting at B3) and select only the distinct value of the combined range of those 5 columns B (it's always going to be column B - static). That means some values may only be present in one sheet while some others may be on all sheets...I need to return only one in both cases.
2-I want also to sort the range ascending alphabetically and then paste the results in the first sheet, starting at A5 (this is also static).

Now onto the tricky part; the pasted results are actually a key that, as already said, may be present in one or multiple sheets. I want to use that key, once the range has been defined and pasted, to retrieve other data in those 5 last sheets, depending on which sheet(s) the key is.

For example, using A5 key, I want to retrieve in each of those 5 sheets, data in their columns C, D, E, F, G, H, N, O, I (in that respective order). I know that columns C, D, E, F, G, H are going to be returned only once because they are the same throughout the worksheets but N, O, I is causing me problems since the columns might be returned as many as 5 times in my example.

Look at the below example of the final results. It works just as if I was doing a vlookup based on A5 on each of the last 5 sheets, returning each columns individually. I don't want to use this approach because I want the generated data to be static.
                                                    |    Sheet 1     |    Sheet 2     |    Sheet 3     |    Sheet 4     |    Sheet 5     |
+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+
| Key|  C  |  D  |   E  |   F  |  G  |  H  |  N  |  O   |   I   |  N  |  O   |   I  |  N  |  O   |   I  |  N  |  O   |   I   |  N  |  O   |   I  |
