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!

Simplifying a formula

Asked by saurabh726 in Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet Software

I Got two formulas to get my final score which works perfectly fine and get me the result that im expecting, However i just wanted to check is there further easy formula to do this, I'm looking for a formula approach only since i can make the user defined function myself.

What basically im trying to do is rate the score that i got from a score of 1 to 5 on a incremental basis and incremental starts from first limit and ends at the second last limit.

Enclosed is the sample file for your reference.

             Formula --> 1
=IF(C4>=$F$4,$H$4,IF(C4>=$F$5,($H$5+((C4-$F$5)/($F$4-$F$5))),IF(C4>=$F$6,($H$6+((C4-$F$6)/($F$5-$F$6))),IF(C4>=$F$7,($H$7+((C4-$F$7)/($F$6-$F$7))),(IF(C4<>0,1,0))))))
 
Formula --> 2
=IF(LOOKUP(C4,$I$4:I$8,J$4:J$8)=1,1,MIN(SUM(LOOKUP(C4,$I$4:$I$8,$J$4:$J$8),(C4-LOOKUP(C4,$I$4:$I$8,$I$4:$I$8))/(LOOKUP(C4,$I$4:$I$8,$K$4:$K$8)-LOOKUP(C4,$I$4:$I$8,$I$4:$I$8))),5))
