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 Refresh Data Query Freezes computer CPU at 100% forever

Asked by nikdonovanau in Microsoft Office Suite

Tags:

In excel I have a workbook with 4 sheets that get their data from the server.

Its a simple offcut viewer program in excel

every time I try to refresh the data Excel locks up, the cpu usage peaks to 100% and stays there until I close the application.

If I click the excel toolbar (refresh data) it still locks up.

Please help.

The code I use follows

  Sheets(1).Select
    Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

  Sheets(4).Select
    Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

 Sheets(3).Select
    Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

 Sheets(2).Select
    Selection.QueryTable.Refresh BackgroundQuery:=False

The result - FREEZE

Then I tried the following

Sub DOIT2()

Sheets("MAIN").Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

PROGRESSBAR.Repaint
 Sheets("Offcuts Coloured Board 16").Select
   
     Cells.Select
