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.

VBA - Efficient Coding Question using arrays

Asked by Shino_skay in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software, Programming Languages, Visual Basic Programming

Tags: , ,

Hi, I have a question about reducing the amoung of coding (i'm finding this portion of my work to be the most tedious)

I have the following code below where I'm trying to find which position in Row1 a specific string is located and return the result in a long data type. I was wondering if I could use an array to condense the actual coding efforts. I made an attempt below but did not return the desired results. I guess my question is, is it even possible or am I being a bit imaginative? Thanks everyone.Start Free Trial
