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 VBA - Range(xx).Rows.Insert sometimes overwrites, sometimes not

Asked by jodyjf in Microsoft Office Suite

Tags: , ,

I have an automated Excel spreadsheet that pulls in data from an Oracle database.  My table is sorted by Name, alphabetically.  The users want one name to be taken out of alphabetical order and always appear on the top.  To do this, there is code written to find this line and move it to the top.  The code is below:

Cells(1, 1).Select
Do While ActiveCell.Row < intLastRow And bSegmentAverage = False
   Cells(ActiveCell.Row + 1, ActiveCell.Column).Select
   If ActiveCell.Value = "SEGMENT AVERAGE" Then
      intSegmentRow = ActiveCell.Row
      Range(ActiveCell.Address, Cells(ActiveCell.Row + 2, intLastColumn)).Select
      Selection.Cut
      bSegmentAverage = True
      intSegmentRow = ActiveCell.Row
      Range(Cells(8, 1), Cells(10,intLastColumn)).Rows.Insert
   End If
Loop

Now, usually the first time this is run, it works perfectly.  It takes the range of cells I want to move and inserts them at the spot I want, moving all the other rows down.  What seems to happen, though, is the second time the program is run it has a tendency to try to overwrite the cells where I am trying to insert, rather than insert them and move the lower rows down.  

Is there a better way to do this or can I specify somehow to never overwrite the existing contents and always shift the rows to below?  

I am new to using VBA with Excel and this is my first post on EE, so please excuse me if I am unclear.
