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!

Extending the functionality of an existing Macro.

Asked by sp70 in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

Tags: , , , ,

Hello Experts!

I have an existing macro that gathers information from multiple sheets in the same workbook to create some lists in the workbook.

I'm stuck with a portion of this macro.  The issue is to take a limited set of existing data and extend it to multiple locations.  

In the attached workbook on the 'ValidationLists' tab, this is how the data is supposed to be organized.  Sorting by 'Division', then by Team, then by handicap.  

If you go to the 'Prep' tab, clear out columns A through D, then run the macro 'MyTest'.  The macro currently grabs the appropriate player information, but I don't know how to have the final column populate the correct information because I don't have that information collocated with the player information.  

The other thing to take into consideration is that sometimes, a player may play on more than one team.

I very well may be going about all this the wrong way.  I'm currently using the macro in a 'static' versus 'dynamic' manner.  Meaning if the player list changes from week to week (which it does), the macro will then have to be updated to account for this.  I know I could use something in the macro with 'COUNTA' or 'LOOKUP', but I'm uncertain how to properly implement this.  The statistic sheets are updated and imported weekly.

The player and team information is all available on the different tabs (at the top), but I'm not sure how to get the macro to 'grab AND expand' the team information (team number followed by team name) that is appropriate for each player.

I have this:

"Bremerton"      "B1 -  Joe Tamura"      "9"      "9.4167"

I need this:

"Bremerton"     "B1 -  Joe Tamura"     "B1 - Red Dogs' Dog House Junkies"     "9"     "9.4167"
       
The Team names and numbers are located at the top of each division's worksheet tab.

I welcome suggestions for better approaches that provide flexibility for a constantly changing data set.
